Maybe things break before they're broke
The way we burned up in mountain smoke
While I'm the one holding onto hope
You're far gone
Somewhere, moving on down slope
Wherever you are is out of reach

Ah, ah
Pulled the rug from out under my feet
Ah, ah
You know I bottle my pain and bury deep
Beneath the green
Glowing of the radar sweep

Dunno why you gotta leave so soon
Summer came, and it passed right through
Come and going like the asteroids do
I forgot to keep my eyes on you
I was living in a dream come true
And it was real, I just wish I knew
Tied a lasso that I can't undo
I forgot to keep my eyes on you

You were the Sun and I revolved
Ah, ah
Yeah
The trail we were blazing's growing cold
Ah, ah
And everything's the wrong side up
I'm in the dust that you kicked up
I hope you can hear me
From a thousand miles away

Dunno why you gotta leave so soon
Summer came and it passed right through
Come and going like the asteroids do
I forgot to keep my eyes on you
I was living in a dream come true
And it was real, I just wish I knew
Tied a lasso that I can't undo
I forgot to keep my eyes on you
I forgot to keep my eyes on you

Dunno why you gotta leave so soon
Summer came and it passed right through
Come and going like the asteroids do
I forgot to keep my eyes on you
I was living in a dream come true
And it was real, I just wish I knew
Tied a lasso that I can't undo
I forgot to keep my eyes on you
Yeah, I forgot to keep my eyes on you
I forgot to keep my eyes on you
