Only In the Past

by the Be Good Tanyas

run away to the seashore
it doesn't matter anymore
it doesn't matter anymore
words dry up and fly away
with the passing of the days
eventually you just let the stone fall

i dreamed that i saw you you were down at the corner store
you were looking thru magazines and you flew out the door
i was trying to wave to you but you wouldn't wave back
now you know i understand you're with me only in the past
only in the past

my palms are not open they're closed they're closed
my palms are not open they're closed they're closed

colours streak the sky
we laugh and we cry
and we dance in the cool grass
with the fireflies
we dance in the cool grass
sunset birds
sweet sweet music
swallow our words
you set sail and you left this town
run away run away you're so far from me now
so far from me now

run away to the seashore it doesn't matter anymore it
doesn't matter anymore

I dreamed that I saw you you were down at the corner store
You were looking through magazines and you flew out the door
I was trying to wave to you but you wouldn't wave back
Now you know I understand you're with me only in the past
Only in the past
