Square States

[Verse 1]

"How are you, how have you been?"

It's sad these days I find

We reveal ourselves in checkpoints, not in true moments of life

Now I wander through the awkward pauses that became our new benchmarks of time

Oh, there's no name for this feeling that your absence has defined

[Inaudible]

[Verse 2]

Upon your bedside table lies the graveyard of romance

An empty wrapper weighted by a jar of rocks from France

A necklace used to magnify your eyes the night I made the first advance

Oh, I did it just to break the ice, they needn't be enhanced

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]

"How are you, how have you been?"

I practiced on the drive across the square states in between us to see you alive

I imagine that the first glance there would say if there was something to revive

Oh, I got a room in Bozeman, I had three days to arrive

One more time!
