Sevens

I hear they're gonna tear down those apartments
They're pulling every single plank
Well it's where we met, and where we set,
and where we drank
I hear they're gonna hollow out the middle
It's gonna be a parking lot
They said the doors were weak, the roof would leak,
and the floors were rot
And you said we were invincible
But my hair is falling out
And you screamed,
"My life's so miserable, I'm so lonely in this house."
Well I guess this is the end of days
Since it's all we talk about
But I loved you more than I did before
I hear they put up rows and rows of houses
In the field where we once played
They dug up bones to build their homes
So nothing's safe
I remember ducking barbed wire fences,
Crossing through the creek
Waiting there in that night air to watch you breathe
And you said we were invincible
But my hair is falling out
And you screamed,
"My life's so miserable, I'm so lonely in this house."
Well I guess this is the end of days
Since it's all we talk about
But I loved you more than I did before
I remember growing like a garden
Every year we both would change
Til we were both grown, the field was gone
The lot was paved
I remember summer moving quickly
And the bad times just got worse
But the love we had when times were bad
Could quench our thirst

And you said we were invincible
But my hair is falling out
And you screamed,
"My life's so miserable, I'm so lonely in this house."
Well I guess this is the end of days
Since it's all we talk about
But I loved you more, yes I loved you more
