lyrics

If you remember, please say “hi” to Josephine
She won’t believe you if you say that you saw me
It’s been a long time since we lay on her front lawn
Waiting for ice cream, hoping that summer would always go on
But it didn’t, it faded away
It’s far too chilly for ice cream today, hey

I went to college, she stayed at home and made
Beds for her husband, children are on the way
Still in the old town, everything’s quiet and news travels slow
Always reminds me of all of the places we said we would go
But I don’t think she cares all that much
I suppose that’s why we fell out of touch

Josephine
Rainfall at sunset’s the prettiest sound
Josephine
How do you run with both heels on the ground?
Josephine
Did you imagine your life without me?

I used to ask her, “Jo, why don’t we run away?”
And then she’d answer, “What would my boyfriend say?”
Girl, if you loved me, we’d have boarded the train and run straight out of town
We would run so fast, kick off from the earth and we’d never come down
But we both knew that people can’t fly
We’d hover a moment, but then fall and die
I never called you, you never asked why
It’s just ‘cause I’m no good at saying goodbye
