Company

Some of you out there might recognize this.

COMPANY

She went home one day
How the people always do
No more looks the other way to what has been

She left home one day
Kept her sweaters tucked away
And a newer life
is what I think she wants
I think that's what she wants
Yeah, that is what she wants

I tell her that Autumn makes me sad
She's got a memory for things like that
As the rain falls
Down upon my orange hat

Shall we
Talk about each other?
Simple questions
"what's your favorite color?"
As I show her pictures of my little brother

Why couldn't you've come to me much earlier than this?
A crisis from the past has left me prejudiced
The pain of four years bears a bruising burden
The angel wear no halo or white curtain

She tells me
Facts about her friends
Seem to mimic mine with certain things
Who has left us
And who now wears rings

We stay
Awake 'til four or five
Glances
Shared between the thoughts of life
I can't remember ever having such a good time

Something deep
Is what she don't want now
She might just change her mind tomorrow anyhow

Why couldn't you've come to me much earlier than this?
A crisis from the past has left me prejudiced
The pain of four years bears a bruising burden
The angel wear no halo or white curtain
