Closer To Our Graves

The world is blocked out in the bedroom
Every note is a reminder
The radio won't let her down
Another failure is born
Thirty miles outside Chicago
Still this gravel highway makes a statement
We're another town gone wrong
Kids know what's really going on
Moving out and moving on
Chorus:

You used to look like me
Moving out and moving on forever
And this autumn air reminds
How things all slowly unwind
Changing times have been unkind to you
As these days they slip away
We grow closer to our graves

Had the best time of my life without you
Now the buildings aren't so tall
Just another dream gone wrong
It's three months since I've seen Chicago

I found our intials in the pavement
Chorus

I bet it's simpler today
Throwing everything away
And this autumn air reminds
But the memory remains forever
How things all slowly unwind
As these days they slip away
Changing times have been unkind to you
We grow closer to our graves
Had the best time of my life without you
