about

Written and performed by Derrick Johnston.

lyrics

I sat down to write a song for you
ripping off the Dixie Chicks,
like I said I would,
but I got distracted writing letters to friends
I'll never send.

I promised Emily eternal misery
as I closed the door and fell apart.
We left for the airport
where I bled out some more
before we took our plane away from shame.

I think about lost love when I'm reminiscing.
Hate pointless nostalgia,
there's a future missing,
Yeah, I had some plans.
They fell apart in my hands.

I promised Emily eternal misery
as I closed the door and fell apart.
We left for the airport
where I bled out some more
before we took our plane away from shame.

Should've gone straight home.

"Do you remember when...?"
I deny everything.
