coincidence took me through my past
now the houses are old and the traffic’s too fast
so i pulled into our goodbye driveway
to see if i could slow time down someway

engine off, i still grip the wheel
like it’s a bumpy ride across all i feel
but i’d gone so far, so far now some how
could not just pull away again now

soft knock on the familiar screen
a glimpse of way back midst the changes i’d seen
but a stranger stood in front of me
sayin’ he wasn’t buying anything

but then i gave him your name he said
‘i’m sorry, you just missed her
can i give her a message
when she gets back from her sisters?’

oh the years came back to me then
standing on the porch of a distant friend
how could i fit all the years
into words that would fill your ears

should i leave my number or not
try to ignite what time forgot
should i tell him our long story
and end it with I’m sorry?

i just gave him my name and said
‘tell her i just missed her’
then i turned and walked away
leaving us in history
