Anacortes - Tullycraft

I used to know all of your secrets and your girlfriends too

I’d memorized the words to «Up The Junction» backwards

Your smile had faded still I held on to our best ideas

I never knew that I’d be paralyzed by your words

You keep skipping stones at my heart

The conversation turns and I don’t feel smart

When everyone around us chooses sides

The tiny moments linger and I just realized

Despite the fleeting fame you may afford us

I won’t miss you Anacortes

I cut the emblem from the Pennsylvania first state flag

And now it’s looking like a heavy metal t-shirt

I’m not saying heavy metal was a bad idea

I’m just thinking bout when you and I would fake flirt

Your coat was lined with fleece and promises

A checklist of the exits and the fire escapes you missed

The hesitation grew and split the seams

Too early for the queue but still it’s later than it seems

Despite the fleeting fame you may afford us

I won’t miss you Anacortes

The air around us it was frozen with the night’s kiss curl

Words were missing and we hadn’t thought to fake them

The radio was playing ‘Honesty' and ‘Uptown Girl'

You never knew the rules enough to even break them

You always chose the lens and found the scratch

The caption and the photo we agreed would never match

I’d seen the grave indifference in your eyes

I hope you’re still remembered when the death of glitter dies

Despite the fleeting fame you may afford us

I won’t miss you Anacortes
