We Used To Live There

Words and music by Joe Dickinson

Howdy friend you know I'm sorry that I didn't make it over last night

But you know what with the way things are man something just doesn't seem right

You're literally on the same street

And right now that's just a little too much for me to bear

We used to live there

I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know

You're gonna tell me to get over it, that what doesn't kill me helps me grow

And I get that I do, but my heart's too numb to beat

Much less understand, all I can do is stare

We used to live there

It's funny 'cause you used to live way down here man, way down where the wild things are

But now you're living way up north with white teeth and a brand new car

I try to tell myself that a place is just a place, that memories are in my mind

That the distribution of pain is not always fair

We used to live there

Going out tonight gonna do what I need to do

If I'm not back by the mornin' phone in a rescue crew

The wind while I wait to be whisked away blew a warning

From where I don't care right down through my hair

We used to live there

Alright time to face my fears, whoa there it is, the one I'm pointing at

Gaze up at the darkened windows, turn around, shed a tear, walk back

Life is beautiful this I do declare

There's just so many facets I'm finding it impossible to really care

We used to live there
