Song Lyrics

And then the rains they came
From thick and broken clouds
And washed out all the names
Of tired little towns

Summer's gone away
Just the California coast
Hey, I don't mind
I never saw around much anyway

But I cannot be still
It's coursing through my veins
Songs that never live
The songs that stay the same

And it turned around at you
And they knocked you off your feet
Yeah, the world was on your back
And you wouldn't carry that weight

Oh, and Caroline, you should
Have captured their hearts
While you still could
But you threw it away
Did you really think
That you'd live forever, Caroline?

And one by one they fell
Barely clinging to their names
Oh, technology overflowing
Flowing from their brains

Nobody knew the words
Nobody knew to sing
And nobody had the time
To talk about it anyway

Oh, and Caroline, you should
Have captured their hearts
While you still could
But you threw it away
Did you really think
That you'd live forever, Caroline?

And they all just sold you down the line
And you're looking for forgiveness
Every time you shut your eyes
Oh, but you're faded
And old and they'll never tell you

Oh, and Caroline, you should
Have captured their hearts
While you still could
But you threw it away
Did you really think
That you'd live forever?

Caroline, you should
Have captured their hearts
While you still could
But you threw it away
Did you really think
That you'd live forever?

Caroline, Caroline, Caroline
You should just throw it away
Did you really think
That you'd live forever?
Forever, forever
