I used to see you
In the garden
Through the window of a TV room
I used to wake up
To your engine hummin'

You'd leave a light on
In the attic
I could see it from my room
And I used to wonder
What the rest of your house looked like

And if you ever let anyone else inside

There's a lot of
People I thought would live
Live forever
I think you were one of them

Mm, mm

Had my first heartbreak
Back in high school
You saw me crying in the driveway
The look on your face said
You had had one too

I had always been so curious about you (about you)

There's a lot of
People I thought would live
Live forever
I think you were one of them
There's a lot of
People I thought would live
Live forever
I swore you were one of them

I think a lot
About all the people everyone forgot
Letters on stones
Are you better off gone
When you're leaving nobody behind? (Oh)

I hope to God
You got let off easy
And that there's someone (oh)
Out there just waiting for you just to arrive
I look at the sky sometimes
And think about endings

There's a lot of
People I thought would live
Live forever
I think you were one of them
There's a lot of
People I thought would live
Live forever
I swore you were one of them

Now nobody's tending to the garden
All the flowers died
They tore down the fence and
They put up a for sale sign
