LXXIII.

i can see the glowing lights
i can see them every night
you're really not that far away
i could be there any day

i wonder if you live there still
i kind of think you always will
if i tried, you'd probably be
hard to find

i feel now about you then
i'm just glad i can explain
you're beautiful and close and young
in those ways we were the same

there's a lot i've not forgotten
i've let go of other things
if i tried, they'd probably be
hard to find

they can all just kiss off into the air

i don't know what we had to lose
those walls took up so little space
they're still waiting for the years
to cover what we can't erase

i'm not holding out for you
i'm still watching for the signs
if i tried, you'd probably be
hard to find

(hard to find - the national)
