lyrics

I won't call when you need it anymore,
I won't stand in line just to pull you off the floor,
You will hold the ghosts that patrol this hallowed ground,
And Madison whispers sweetly,
but she never makes a sound...

Board a Greyhound out of Union on a Sunday afternoon,
In the fog on the window, write a name that you once knew.
When you hold your hand out for the simple setting sun, because autumn breathes for the hopeful who will leave it at the dawn...

Oh this is not some stupid love song for you to call,
Oh this is not some stupid love song for you at all...

This bar down the street has a photo booth that we'd waste our toll change on, and these four squares left in black and white have completely lost their charm...
Where are ya now? Where are ya now?

Oh this is not some stupid love song for you to call,
Oh this is not some stupid love song for you at all,
Oh not at all.
