We were into fast cars, but never good at sports
Yeah, we both had asthma, but we were young never thinking that life was short
Yeah, you liked the movies and you liked the fall
But you told me Christmas Day always made you feel like you could have it all
I remember walking from my house to yours
I remember you called me crying when you found out about your parents' divorce
Yeah, you were so scared about moving away
And so we made a promise to each other there on Boxing Day
When they say, we should move on. We'll play our favorite songs
We'll say, we've made our plans to see the world and our favorite bands
When they say, this isn't love. We'll say we won't give up
'Cause promises never change. For you, I'll always wait... 364 days
So in the winter, you were gone. But I worked all summer long
To buy a ticket on a plane and a bus that would take me to Westbrook, Maine
I heard you had a house there staying with your Mom
I heard she tried to set you up with a boy she picked for your Senior Prom
But that wouldn't stop me 'cause I was on my way
Yeah, you were so surprised when I showed up there on Christmas Day
When they say, we should move on. We'll play our favorite songs
We'll say, we've made our plans to see the world and our favorite bands
When they say, this isn't love. We'll say we won't give up
'Cause promises never change. For you, I'll always wait... 364 days
Sometimes it's hard to come here.
You know I almost missed it last year
'Cause the truth is that the silent drive sometimes hurts the most
Things changed now since you left us
Yeah, I just stayed with your parents
Who both say that they love me, but it's time to let you go
But I can't just let you go
My friends say that they're worried
I guess they think that I'll go crazy
Flying once a year out here, talking to this stone
They say I should move on. But I'll play our favorite songs
You know I've made some plans to see the world and our favorite bands
When they say, this isn't love. I'll say I won't give up
'Cause promises never change. For you, I'll always wait... 364 days
