Avalon Landing Erie County Welcomes You Back Lyrics

It's the first of July
And I can hear engines in the sky
And it hasn't sunk in
That if I knock on your door
There'll be no reply

'Cause I'm the type of person who gets depressed
When I have to say goodbye to the characters I've met
In movies I've seen
When the credits start to roll, I want to press rewind
So that I don't have to leave my 90-minute friends behind
So tell me how I'm supposed to handle

The west coast stealing you away from me
Your 737 is my enemy
At least I've got the sun to keep me company
I was ahead and miles away
My eastern sunset in the middle of your day

A conversation that we shared
As I walk the streets in the crisp air
Of an autumn day in the neighborhood
Stretched the frequencies as far as we could

And I watched one of our favorite movies
When you left that day You crossed the country,
I saw Garden State

I felt the west coast stealing you away from me
Your 737 is my enemy
At least I've got the sun to keep me company
I was ahead and miles away
My eastern sunset in the middle of your

(Took a trip downtown)
Weeks before you took off
(And Avalon was found)
Over some silverware and a tablecloth
(I was lost in thought)
We'll resurrect
The feeling I'd get
Ten years ago
When all that I had
Was an empty notebook and a piano

I felt the west coast stealing you away from me
Your 737 is my enemy
At least I've got the sun to keep me company
I was ahead and miles away
My eastern sunset in your day

I'll steal you back and make you stay
I was ahead and miles away
My eastern sunset in the middle of your day
