Saw a friend in you
You saw one inside of me too
Hope I don’t erase you as I'm
Throwing out your tissues I'm
Throwing out your shoes
You’re not walking anymore
I kept a nice coat
There’s one thing left to dress up for
Spent some time away
From the East Coast
I was on the West Coast when
It all happened
I pulled off at the nearest gas station
There an old woman
Spoke her wisdom
I was frozen
And we drove that night
Through the Idaho plight
Wish I’d quit
While I was ahead
Saw a friend in you
You saw one inside of me too
Hope I don’t erase you as I'm
Throwing out your tissues I'm
Throwing out your shoes
You’re not walking anymore
I kept a nice coat
There’s one thing left to dress up for
When I come back in the summer
Up on a hill
I’ll give that thirsty lawn it’s ashes
You know I will
I’ll think of your final summer
And your final spring
I’ll think of our final encounter
Your last everything
Saw a friend in you
You saw one inside of me too
Hope I don’t erase you as I'm
Throwing out your tissues I'm
Throwing out your shoes
You’re not walking anymore
I kept a nice coat
There’s one thing left to dress up for
