Only In The Past Lyrics - Be Good Tanyas

Run away to the seashore 

It doesn't matter anymore 

It doesn't matter anymore 

Words dry up and fly away 

With the passing of the days 

Eventually you just let the stone fall 

I dreamed that I saw you 

You were down at the corner store 

You were looking through magazines 

And you flew out the door 

I was trying to wave to you 

But you wouldn't wave back 

Now you know I understand 

You're with me only in the past 

My palms are not open 

They're closed, they're closed 

Colors streak the sky 

We laugh and we cry 

And we dance in the cool grass 

With the fireflies 

We dance in the cool grass 

Sunset birds 

Sweet, sweet music 

Swallow our words 

You set sail and you left this town 

Run away, run away 

You're so far from me now 

So far from me now 

Run away to the seashore 

It doesn't matter anymore 

It doesn't matter anymore 

I dreamed that I saw you 

You were down at the corner store [unverified]
