There used to be champagne inside this cabinet display
You used to say, someday, we'd bring it out
You figured it was worse to be the calm, than be the wind
When a breeze can pick you up, and let you down

You never saw me waiting, and I wish I'd caught your arm
I used to have that gravity and fight
You used to be alive, You used to be alright
When do you get back here?

There used to be a flag above the windows at your house
But then just yellow ribbon down the side
You used to be so clearly something no one could describe
And I used to be the one that you'd confide in

You said you had to leave here, if only for a while
But we never drank that bottle after all
You used to be alive, You used to be alright
When do you get back here?

You said there was a river beside your town and to the next
You heard it wasn't all that far or fast
If you could be the person that your nieces would admire
Would you trade it for the boredom of your past?

You took it all in stride, you promised you'd beware
But you'd never been so confident, and fiery
you used to want your life, it used to be alright
When do you get back here?

Another sixteen years, and nothing more to say, besides
"I'll pick you up the minute that you land"
I'll tell you you were foolish, that you made me sit and cry
That you'd painted me with the water from from that river

I guess we'd reconnect, you'd ask about our friends
Even if that's obvious and trite
You used to be alive, You used to be alright
When do you get back here?
When do you get back here?
