Lyrics

They’re turning this island into a mall and
They’re tearing the old house down
The game closet’s empty, the ghosts are less friendly
And nothing makes a sound
The sound of the ache in the floorboard
The absent guitar chords whose tune is
One more someone I’m gonna miss

The parents who loved you held it above you
Clueless to their guilt
There’re names out of order etched in the mortar
Of every wall you built
They found us resting in motion
Under the ocean where we kissed
One more someone I’m gonna miss
And you’re one more someone I’m gonna miss
One more someone I’m gonna miss

BRIDGE:
We drove south on the Northway
The windows rolled down the whole day
The miles sweep through us
And the truth comes to us
Like silence follows a thrill

When the endings are over
And you’re only just older
There’s never any doubt
What you take with you
Won’t be the issue
It’s what you’ll leave without

The lengths I’d go through to show you
I love you and I know you know this!
You’re one more someone I’m gonna miss
One more someone I’m gonna miss
One more someone I’m gonna miss

Seely I tell you things
I want you to hear
You won’t believe

They’re turning this island into a mall and they’re tearing the old house down
