In seven months
I'll say goodbye
I'll take my last photo with you
And I'll frame it
So you can always keep 
The memories we've shared

What can I do to make this stay? 
To make all the moments, 
Where we were infinite last forever. 

To keep the good days for the future, 
And carry the bad along with my past. 

How do you ride a bike?
How do you make the wheels turn?
How do you make everything fade away?

How do you let the moment
Fill you with emotion
That never leaves your heart?

There's a dog that sits at the end of my street, 
He snarls his teeth when we walk, 
He barks with his eyes wide open,
With his eyes full of rage and love. 

There's a dog that sits at the end of my street, 

And in that moment 
I thought it would last 
But truth won 
Because nothing that good 
Could stay for that long 
And after that year 
We went our separate ways 
We never took photos 

Every day that year 
I would look up at the sky 
At night it was black and blue 
With white stars 
Glowing bright above 
The Marfa lights 
The streetlights glowed 
Bright and bold
