lyrics

first time i saw her face
was on the hottest day of the hottest summer we'd ever seen
living on elliston place
she'd drop in to beat the heat
we were just nineteen
she soaked up the sun
her skin the color of a caramel candy
oh we fell in love
at least one of us did

a beginning and an end
i'd have followed her anywhere if she'd given me a reason
pity the perpetual friend
helping his object of desire through heartbreak season
we said our goodbyes the day the summer heat finally relented
i think i knew even then
nothing would ever feel more for real

texas goes on for days
get your heart broke in el paso
you'll forget her by houston
but she was in this phase
i'd win her over in dallas
and by austin i'd be losing
oh i wish i hurt
just enough to justify my effort
but oh you can't lose what you never had

all that remained
was a thousand dollar car and a thousand miles of highway
she never could be restrained
just ask all the boys who found it out the hard way
she soaked up the moon
still glowing last time i saw her
i learned pretty soon i was right
nothing's ever felt more for real

you can have anything for a minute
it's the holding on that's so damn hard
a restless heart isn't lost if you don't win it
it just keeps running never given never scarred

this city sucks your soul
just to find a quiet bar is such a bloody hassle
if it weren't for rock n roll
think i'd be lying in her arms in some suburban castle
oh that's just a lie i tell myself to justify my obsession
i'm doing alright but once in awhile
i just want to feel more for real
