lyrics

I’ve become quite thankful
Even as our time runs out
For every mile I’ve walked with you
And every mile I’ll walk without

You’re not scared to leave
You’re not certain what you’ll find
But I sure as shit am certain
You’ll be always on my mind

And always on the corner
Of the street I’m walking down
Always in the smoke
Rising from this factory town

And I’ll be always holding
To the years it stole away
Where we didn’t go
Every word we didn’t say

Who here knows the difference
Between a love and loss
Between just you and me
It’s what you give and what you got

High beams on the highway
Space in every room
Roses on the ground now
Cut upon their bloom

I’ve become quite thankful
For the things that come to pass
For the days all falling forward
For no flame was lit to last

Yes, I’ve become quite thankful
You might say that I have learned
Not to sacrifice a second
When they’re all so quick to turn
