This is the same train
and this is the station
where you would be waiting,
you'd wave from the platform.

This is the same road
that we took forever,
the distance seems shorter,
the trees have grown taller,
the houses seem smaller,
I feel like a stranger in my hometown.

Here is the old house,
I don't think you'd like it,
they tore out the front porch,
it's all painted over.

Driving down 4th Street
they closed down the drugstore
and put in a big chain
and all of the faces
look so unfamiliar,
I feel like a stranger in my hometown.

It's been a while,
I'm sad to say
now it looks the same
as anybody's hometown,
anybody's hometown.

The trees have grown taller,
the houses seem smaller,
I wish I belonged here in my hometown.

It's been a while,
so much has changed
now it looks the same
as anybody's hometown,
anybody's hometown.

Almost Over You

Lost for a hundred days
under a flannel haze,
deep in my slumber
I think I remember
the joy that the daylight gave.

The joy that the daylight gave,
my heart was wide awake.
Flooded my senses,
I was so brave,
my heart was wide awake.

I think the time has come, I hear the starting gun,
I'm putting on my shoes, I'm almost over you.
I'm getting pretty close, almost,
almost over you.

Out of the blue cocoon.
Goodbye to my cobwebbed room.
And you will get smaller,
smaller and smaller,
until I don't see you at all.

Now the time has come, I can bear the sun,
nothing left to lose, I'm almost over you.
I'm getting pretty close, almost,
almost over you.

Leftover

Every time we meet
I'm caught off guard,
it's unexpected.
And it's bittersweet
and it leaves my heart
unprotected.
And I know my eyes betray
the feeling that I still have to this day

And it's there for all the world to see,
the mark you left on me,
leftover.
All the broken pieces left behind
I carry them inside
leftover.

Do you have to be
so coy with me,
I hear you laughing.
And you act as though
our long ago,
it never happened.
It's been easier for you
as for me it's like I'm scarred with some tattoo.

And it's there for all the world to see,
the mark you left on me,
leftover.
All the broken pieces left behind
I carry them inside
leftover.

I try but I can't let go,
I miss you more than you'll ever know.

And it's there for all the world to see,
the mark you left on me,
leftover.
All the broken pieces left behind
I carry them inside
leftover.

Every time we meet
I'm caught off guard.

Happy For You

You and me
used to trade our stories
of the luckless escapades,
sharing all our misadventures
in life and love.
Seems we don't
have a lot in common
since you went and found someone,
everything is hearts and flowers
when you're around.

And it makes me feel
like I'm someone who
has been left behind,
but I'm happy for you.

Remember when
we would laugh at lovers,
call them sentimental fools.
Swore we'd never be that stupid,
now look at you.

Does it make you feel
like you're someone who
has the whole wide world
happy for you.

You've got sunshine, I've got cloudy day.
You've got stardust, I've got bills to pay.
You've got love I'm jealous of -

Does it make you feel
like you're someone who
has the whole wide world
Cause it makes me feel
like I'm someone who
has been left behind
but I'm happy for you.
