Song Lyrics

I knew a girl who loved to sing
She flagged a truck down in the spring
And moved to Tennessee
And grew apart from me
Though I don't think about her much
Well, that's not true
She's in the snow, she's the color blue
She's all the taps that drip
The darker vices that pick me up
To hold me under

Hey now, hey where'd you go?
Find your way back to me, honey
We'll pretend you missed me so
Life's a struggle, a bright illusion, a hustle
Strange through all these harder seasons
You're the one part of this puzzle

That I know by all the curves
The ragged edges, and broken words
Remember your guitar?
How you painted it with stars
And called it Consolation?

Hey now, hey where'd you go?
Paint me up and play me, honey
I'll pretend that I don't know
That life's a struggle, a bright illusion, a hustle
Tell me through these harder seasons
I'm the best part of this puzzle

Hey now, hey wherever you been
Throw your older arms around me
Maybe we'll be young again
So I say hey now, hey wherever you go
Come on back home to me, honey
We'll pretend you missed me so

Paul Andrew Aarntzen
