Ellie

Ellie, I've been thinking about the day that we met
 On a train home from Brooklyn with the stars overhead
 The life was pouring out of you, at least that's how it seemed,
 Staring out the window at nothing at all
 As we slowed to a crawl...
 Ellie, I've been thinking about the day that you left,
 Standing out on Wyngate with the stars overhead.
 The love was pouring out of you in a curious way.
 I was staring at the pavement as you told me to go.
 You said, "Everyone knows..."
 ♪
 I should have warned you when you let me in
 That my heart has layers that shed like old skin.
 I never was one to ask what could have been.
 ♪
 Ellie, I've been thinking about the day that we met
 And those summers down in Brooklyn that I'll never forget.
 
 The light was pouring down on you, it put a gleam in your eye
 And now I'm staring at the pavement,
 Still with nothing to say
 of the love that we chased...
