I just sold the guitar I wrote my first song on
For a hundred fifty bucks and good intentions
Doesn't mean that much to me now, but I guess
We had something together
It all started with Carmen way back in first grade
Ever since I've been watching all my friends walk away
I am a hedgehog embracing the cold
I still remember the warmth of being bold
It was worth the blood
Well I thought you would stay
But you don't show your face here anymore
And there's something that's been on my mind
All things we might say if we left behind a little more
Than a hall full of unopened doors
I just heard one of those songs that used to make me smile
For the hundred and fifth time, but it's been a long while
Doesn't mean that much to me now, but it did
It used to feel so much bigger
I was backstage at the Megadeth show in tenth grade
Ever since I've been watching all my heroes fade
I am a hedgehog embracing the cold
I still remember the warmth of being bold
It was worth the blood
Well I thought you would stay
But you don't show your face here anymore
And there's something that's been on my mind
All things we might say if we left behind a little more
Than a hall full of unopened doors
I saw you the other day
I was fishing through the pockets of my wrinkled brain
For a fifty cent word or two
Anything to say to you
Yeah, I really want to talk with you
Well I thought you would stay
But you don't show your face here anymore
And there's something that's been on my mind
All things we might say if we left behind a little more
Than a hall full of unopened doors
