Maine

[Verse 1]
Can a thing be erased?
Why do you linger? You're out of place
I think we should sell our home and move up to Maine
On an inlet that looks toward the bay

I'll wear my best suit today
I'll lend my shoulder, I'll cut the cake
But remember that I can't be swayed
It's just courtesy

[Chorus]
What can I say? I don't know what to say
I'm not the same
You took my heart with you when you left
I would follow you but something tells me that I can't

[Verse 2]
At night you're out in the street
Hiding in shadows, rustling trees
Did you want me to save you a seat?
Well that's a whole lot to ask of me

Oh come on now, don't be so mean
I am the meanest, you don't have to compete
I don't have to clench my fists or bare my teeth
You'll just hurt yourself (Yes you will)

[Chorus]
What can I say? I don't know what to say
I'm not the same
You took my heart with you when you left
I would follow you but something tells me that I can't

[Bridge]
So I'm buying a house in Maine
Where the ground takes May to thaw out
And Canada's a thirty minute drive

And I'm putting you away
And I'll keep you out of sight, love
And we both know that I'm not gonna write
But know that I will figure you sometimes

[Chorus]
What can I say? I don't know what to say
I'm not the same
You took my heart with you when you left
I would follow you but something tells me that I can't

Oh I would follow you but I'm simply not the same
And tomorrow I am moving up to Maine
