Alexandria

Alexandria VA, the boy with the black hair Did you ever see a sunrise turn a lake to fire? We were too young to show them proof But there’s nothing wrong with youth It looked like we were headed for a head-on But it was just the headlights reflected in a window The light playing tricks on our eyes We drove further north to Ithica NY Listening for our song on every station You introduced me to your mom How I wanted to belong We thought that we were writers for the ages But we were just the actors Grinning with our speeches Waiting in the wings for our cue Oh I was told you would come But how was I to know I’d have to wait so awfully long? We were getting wet Didn’t have a cell phone yet And I was always running out of quarters But you cleaned up very well in a $39.99 motel Thought you heard that hit of ours on cable But it was just our swan song playing on a sitcom We lost it while running the dials Oh I was told you would come But how was I to know I’d have to wait so awfully long?
