Heard you´re going through a divorce But you´re still at the same address, of course Mid century modern, car parked right out front Same spot as it was Wasn´t that your folks´ place?
Where we´d hook up as each July came Let love arrive, then slip away As easily as the summer
If I wrote it all down Would I have told you this before If I´d put it all to bed Could I explain any more How long summer shadows fall
I try so hard to forget you I try so hard to forget you
I drive past your house sometimes Make the excuse it´s the short way ´round Think of all those years before No longer modern but getting old
I said I´d write it all down If I could remember everything But I left it all there Thinking one day I´d return How long summer shadows fall
I try so hard to forget you I try so hard to forget you
Mid century modern house all crumbling down Some things that start so well just don´t seem to work out Funny how that photograph survived You and me both so young and alive
I try so hard to forget you I try so hard to forget you I try so hard to forget you
