summer was purring like a kitten
the record needle starting skipping
i was squeaking through the screen door
A Riff A
so do you want to go downtown with me
maybe stop by the library?
you rode by my side
A Riff A
it felt like everything was finally perfect
we rode past the empty stores and churches
but then i looked in your eyes
and they were anxious
Riff
over all the fields that surround
Intro Riff A
later that night you started to cry
ran into the bathroom and locked yourself inside
i wanted to knock down the door
but instead i just
riff A
sometimes I feel like i still don't know you
after all the stupid stuff that we've been through
how many horror movies have we sat through
how many sour patch kids
how many two liters of mountain dew
i want to see you get through this
but it feels like nothing i say makes any difference
when i left your house that night i felt totally awful
Riff
over all the fields that surround
A riff
maybe i did the wrong thing
maybe i should have stayed
maybe you were gonna feel better, maybe
maybe nothing would have changed just
most nights i just throw a movie in the vcr
and fall asleep on the couch and wake up tired
i try not to miss you
riff A
i remember stopping by a long time ago
heard you inside playing piano
i sat down on the front step
riff
over all the fields that surround
trap us in this stupid town
over all the fields that surround
A (normal major)
