Heard you got a job as a mailman
I heard you're playing around in a couple bands
Wish I could come to the show, but I understand
Can't just walk in like any other fan
But I always loved the way you play guitar
You've got style, no one's doin' it like you are
Where lovers put locks on the rails
And throw their keys into the river beneath
We were two such suckers
But the metal weighs down the bearings and the city has to cut the bolts
You're a bullseye and I aimed right
I'm a straight shot, you're a grand prize
It was young love, it was dumb luck
Holding each other so tight, we got stuck
I'll miss borrowing your books to read your notes in the margin
The closest I came to reading your mind
The answers to the questions only made more questions
But I wanted to be there the day you figured it all out
You're a bullseye and I aimed right
I'm a straight shot, you're a grand prize
It was young love, it was dumb luck
Holding each other so tight, we got stuck
Found some of your stuff at my new house
Packed it on accident when I was moving out
Probably wrong to think of them as your gifts to me
More like victims of my sentimentality
Man, it's hard to quit while you're ahead
Letting the best laid plans become empty threats
But I meant every word I said
When I said it
The world that we built meant the world to me
