Johnny Mainstream Whiteboard lyrics

Don't you fret my weathered friend, i don't know what it means
But these autumn winds seem very thin and i'm not breathing clean
Your auburn town it's all burned down, the smoke circles the beach
And ever since the storms rolled in there ain't that much to see

I wrote you a poem on the whiteboard outside my dorm
Till someone wiped it out with a wet paper towel
Now i'm not sure if it even said anything at all

Don't you cry, my jilted bride, i didn't mean to be so cruel

I left you there by those chapel stairs looking like a fool
With all your plans to start again, halfway across the world
Just a fairy tale for your friends in jail, dreaming of parole

I carved you from stone in the courtyard outside my home
Till war came around and the bombs leveled the town
Now i'm not sure if you ever were there at all
