i wanna fall in love with a girl from san francisco
we’ll take a bus to the pier and we’ll bike down to the castro
at least when she breaks my heart itll be in a beautiful place
she’ll be mean like new york and soft like LA
and we could go anywhere
and we would be happy there
we’ll get a little place a couple blocks from chinatown
we could make the rent but the city would bring us down
so we’ll just keep on moving, she and i, we’ll get around
cause we’ll always have that hunger, yeah, we’ll never settle down
and we could go anywhere
and we would be happy there
and people say it’s crazy over there down by the bay
but if our plans fire back on us then we dont have to stay
house parties in oakland keep us up all fucking night
but anywhere with her would be a beautiful sight
we’re gonna drive so fast, clear the fog out from the road
gonna go see the world with my lover from san francisco

darling, is it all true
they say that you already found someone new
and though i moved 900 miles
there’s a man on the corner who shares your smile
yes, i look for you everywhere
put the puzzle together until you’re all there
and these pieces keep you in my mind
so for but a moment a part of you is mine
it's the closest i'll ever be
to loving you once more
these strangers and their likeness to you, i adore
i remember those summers with you
we’d drink ourselves stupid and lay on the roof
there’s a boy with your eyes on the train
i ask him if i can call him your name
there are crowds here in every town,
full of puzzle pieces that keep you around
but it’s just never quite the same
for as much as i look, dear, there’s no match for your brain
it's the closest i'll ever be
to loving you once more
these strangers and their likeness to you, i adore
and maybe it’s time i let you go
it’s been years now since i’ve heard your name
i left our hometown behind for the streets of LA
i know someday the news will come through
all our old crew is split and she’s married to you
so i lay all our memories down
they were just mine to borrow before i left town
and a garden somewhere holds the truth
where i planted my daydreams of growing with you
but the future i saw wasn’t mine, your forevers, they unwind
i learned to leave unfinished puzzles behind

sixteen in your car
a universe unfolding in the backseat
and we can promise all we want
but i'm drifting, and you have your eyes on her
supercuts of you
four hours away never seemed so out of reach
i'm losing memories of all the times
you said you loved me
on the plane to satellite beach
i'm already gone

should i have told you,
should i have stayed?
in west virginia
the light on your face
our friends are all smoking
but bad habits, we’ve got our own
day drinking whiskey
don’t tell me you missed me, i know
we’re neighboring cities
touching, but barely
you came so close to the edge
and i couldn’t map just
what made me go mad
but somehow you pushed me away
wanted to be more to you than
neighboring
you should have seen me
knock at your door
the smile that i hid when you first let me in,
i was trying to play it cool
you told me straight
you knew magic lasts only so long
still gave it a chance
but i never could prove you wrong

everything is changing
just give it a year
it'll start to feel like
we were never here
we fell in love in winter
maybe we just kept each other warm
til we could brave the cold
alone into the storm
everything is changing
everything's the same
it always never lasts
time will fan the flames
but doesn't it make sense though
since we loved so much and for so long
that since we've been a-changing
everything feels wrong
everything is changing
darling, why cant i?
i moved four states away just to forget your face
still see your name up in the sky
i know the party's over
everyone is sober
but i don't wanna leave
i wanna sit inside this unchanging memory of us
this tiny puzzle piece.
