I knew your picture, I traced your frame

I knew the view of your new millennium class ring

That I wore around a chain so others could see

You knew my parents, you knew your worth

You had the usual teenager's ability to hurt

But if I said that I was missing the missing

The way I did before those we know better days

Would you still have a place for a heart this shape ?

You left the city, you headed north

Chased the American Dream on the basis it was yours

I would watch you from the shore, steering your own ship

When you dropped the anchor and came aground
When the person settled down, it seemed devoid of the vibrant life it once had.
I bet the place looked like it had the color bled out
The place lost its former significance to the singer after the person's departure.
This used to be our town, now it's just somewhere to live

Would you still have a place
