Softies Pedestal Lyrics

driving the same road not much to see
going toward weather more suited to me
ending this whole thing by waving my hand
I hope that you don't forget what we planned
for years down the road
when we both grow old
but we don't have time for that now

so you stay here and I'll go on
but I'm leaving this pedestal empty to put you upon

dates and persimmons are filling the room
not leaving space for my sorrow and gloom I'm glad you're not here so don't try to be
I like you just how you are around me
even though I don't have much time
we don't have to finish this now

so you stay here and I'll go on
but I'll think about us playing house everyday
that I'm gone

you say what she said it sounds just as wrong
maybe it's best that I didn't stay long
