Time Tables

Once she came like a vision in the night

I fell in love before the morning arrived

She wore a blue dress to combat the heat

Drank beer from a bottle and danced in the street

Then I heard her singing something fairly familiar

A tale of two lovers in the thick of the summer

There in the moment we kissed in the hammock

We argued over which Bad Religion album was better

I thought No Control or Suffer

Then she became queen of the neighbourhood parties

While I was an unknown boy along for the ride

Kept the guitar right by my side

It was better than conversing with the kids I didn’t like

But on the Fourth of July when the fireworks rang out

She met a new boy who was more hip and less strung out

I drove home with fire in the sky

Fiddled with the dials and stumbled across something

That you were always humming

As time tables suggest

We were only just friends

In constant motions covering stilts

I’ll give you a dollar for another ride home

Or something to mix with your coke

Well maybe if you want to wander around outside tonight

Meet me in Lake Ariel after midnight

Or really whenever, I only want to talk

I only want to relive what was lost

As time tables suggest

We were only just friends

In constant motions covering stilts

I’ll give you a dollar for another ride home

Or something to mix with

As time tables suggest

We were only just friends

In constant motions covering stilts

I’ll give you a dollar for another ride home

Or something to mix with your coke
