lyrics

hand me a cigarette
tell me another story
what pictures did you take today?
how long before you go away?

i really like that dress you're wearing
i can't believe the other folks aint staring
pulling out your polaroid
i think it's warm enough to stay outside

i'll send you a postcard
when i get back home
that night in toronto made me feel like
feel like i'm not alone

i thought that i'd run out of things to say
or that you'd turn and look the other way
but when you walked me to the subway station
i couldn't bear to end the conversation

i really hope that when i'm gone you'll miss me
and i regret you didn't get to kiss me
i'll make a promise to come back someday
but you're an ocean and a continent away

i'll send you a postcard
when i get back home
that night in toronto made me feel like
feel like i'm not alone

i'll make a promise to come back some day
but you're an ocean and a continent away
