I used to know all of your secrets and your girlfriends too
I'd memorized the words to "Up The Junction" backwards
Your smile had faded still I held on to our best ideas
I never knew that I'd be paralyzed by your words
You keep skipping stones at my heart
The conversation turns and I don't feel smart
When everyone around us chooses sides
The tiny moments linger and I just realized
Despite the fleeting fame you may afford us
I won't miss you Anacortes
I cut the emblem from the Pennsylvania first state flag
And now it's looking like a heavy metal t-shirt
I'm not saying heavy metal was a bad idea
I'm just thinking about when you and I would fake flirt
Your coat was lined with fleece and promises
A checklist of the exits and the fire escapes you missed
The hesitation grew and split the seams
Too early for the queue but still it's later than it seems
Despite the fleeting fame you may afford us
I won't miss you Anacortes
The air around us it was frozen with the night's kiss curl
Words were missing and we hadn't thought to fake them
The radio was playing 'Honesty' and 'Uptown Girl'
You never knew the rules enough to even break them
You always chose the lens and found the scratch
The caption and the photo we agreed would never match
I'd seen the grave indifference in your eyes
I hope you're still remembered when the death of glitter dies
Despite the fleeting fame you may afford us
I won't miss you Anacortes
I won't miss you Anacortes
I won't miss you Anacortes
I won't miss you Anacortes
