lyrics

You could hear the patter of raindrops in the alleys
All the cars stayed stuck at red lights
Strangers didn't look up as they passed on the street
Everything was frozen in time

And old friends tried to keep the mood light
We laughed about good times and smoked in the churchyard
We swore nothing would be different
As we watched you slip away

Don't make me go back
I can't lay anymore flowers by a stone
By the Potomac
Don't make me go back
I can't put on a smile for all our old friends
Pretend nothing's different

Been having visions of your silhouette
A shadow in a window in perfect symmetry
Feels like I'm living a past life in my head
I remember it vividly

We were diamonds and runaways on freight trains
All we needed was a song and a sunset to chase
We dreamed of packing everything and heading West
We dreamed

Don't make me go back
I can't lay anymore flowers by a stone
By the Potomac
Don't make me go back
I can't put on a smile for all our old friends
Pretend nothing's different

Don't make me go back
Because I'm torn to pieces
By every inch of pavement
Don't make me go back
This isn't where I came from
Everything is different
