“Alberta”
You’re not what you were before
I see you still have your old beauty and your charm, but
You’ve been left out in the cold for oh so long
I’ve not forgotten the way you were before
Roaming the hills of Alberta with you, my old love
Our first summer after college we said fuck it all
Taking only what we could carry on our backs
Oh, I still see you, I still see you, I still see you among those apple trees
It doesn’t feel like it did before
Me so naive to think I could catch those moment in a jar
Now you’re just a sign for someone else’s message
Chucked off to the side and fenced off, kept apart, ohhh, so far
Roaming the hills of Alberta with you, my old love
Our first summer after college we said fuck it all
Taking only what we could carry on our backs
Oh, I still see you, I still see you, I still see you among those apple trees
Furry with snow about a half mile from where we would go
To swim without clothes, sounds of insects and birds
would follow us home
Roaming the hills of Alberta with you, my old love
Our first summer after college we said fuck it all
Taking only what we could carry on our backs
Oh, I still see you, I still see you, I still see you among those apple trees
