...And then You Moved Away

I've had the same expression for years now
And I've found that you're not allowed to change here
But at least we've noticed

I can't find a way out of this town
I can't help but feel that I let you down

We are ghosts
We're haunting all we know
We singing of our families
Of all our proud parents

Even places feel neglected
And you're far off in the distance pointing out the exits
When did you stop following so close behind?

State lines are canyons between us

This is an upstate reverie how people aren't what they used to be. This is a revelation taken from a study of the valley where one day we'll live next to the highway
So, don't believe without looking up ahead
And don't you leave
It's never ever worth it
