lyrics

I tried to ring you last night
'til the dialing tone died
You never did answer my calls
I'm still not sure why
I wasn't trying to change your mind
This lonely Joe's back's against the wall

We followed those fevers like broken tattoos
We etched beneath our skin
In the warm sweaty bars, dancing in the dark
Oh, how I'd drift back there again

Do you remember the heat of those long summer evenings
The diamonds of heaven shining like the city lights
I'm driving through those streets where we used to meet
I admit it still tears we up inside
I guess it was a long goodbye

Every boy had a girl who looked him in the eyes
Who ripped him to pieces and cut him like a knife
Oh Katie these wounds of mine still haven't healed
While the scars will remain here for life
I know next time I'll think twice

Do you remember the heat of those long summer evenings
The diamonds of heaven shining like the city lights
I'm driving through those streets where we used to meet
I admit it still tears we up inside
I guess it was a long goodbye

The flames we burned to ashes and dust
Your words carry a sting
I must live with the ghosts but what kills me most
Is all that could've been

Do you remember the heat of those long summer evenings
The diamonds of heaven shining like the city lights
I'm driving through those streets where we used to meet
I admit it still tears we up inside
I guess it was a long goodbye
