lyrics

Well we met cute outside the cafe
You came over to ask for a light
Leaning part way over the fence between us
It’s downtown, Saturday night
You explained how you’d stopped smoking Camels
You explained how your friends were no fun
When I said my name you said boy I know it
I’ve been seeing you around some

The group you were with
They’d gone off down the sidewalk
You turned to join them
And I watched you go
I was grinning
Anna Lee

Yeah the sun sets late in the summer
All the students gone till the fall
When the rain comes down in the afternoon
You see steam rising off asphalt
It was one of those wild, wild Wednesdays
I was bored all my friends had work
Caught your sister’s band at your boyfriend’s house
It was loud and their mics didn’t work

And I wandered off
I was lonely but happy
I was thinking about music
I was thinking about us
I was hopeful
Anna Lee

Well I spent a few weeks missing signals
And a few after that missing calls
I’m a few beers in on my front porch
You’re across town having a ball
Yes I’ve been ripped off and I’ve been misused
Baby I’ve been nickled and dimed
But when I look back at the wrongs I’ve seen
I’m not sure if the worst weren’t mine

And I know there’s no rush
But I’m losing my patience
Like I’m losing my head
Like I’m losing my cool
Over you
Anna Lee

I drove out, the windows down, radio on
I drove out till the station turned to static
The sun went down, the clouds cleared off, the stars came out
It got cold, it got quiet, I drove back

Now the team’s moved out to the suburbs
And now downtown looks like a mall
All the cafes stopped serving locals
All the students back for the fall
And it’s not just because it’s September
And it’s not just because I’m alone
We had one good night I remember
But that morning I woke on my own

And I’m not really sure
What I came here to tell you
But that look on your face
I can tell it’s too late
And I’m sorry
Anna Lee
