We left town, the woods we loved lost fire
We threw our shoes over the telephone wire
My streets were spinning and needed help
I left a memento to remind myself
Now Lemon loves the schoolyard, and she's a hit
Says she's gonna graduate lickety split
She sat up turning couldn't get through the night
I felt real bad but I slept alright

And all the things you swore would never change
They changed too
Yeah they changed too.

Maybe you don't know what's good for me
Well, maybe you don't know what's good for yourself
Lemon bought a dress that's white as snow
But Lemon loves the night that's black as crow
I said, Lemon loves the night that's black as crow

I knew I was to see you I wanted to look good
I got the hair off my face like my mom said I should
I bought an orange pack of disposable blades
and you said I did a bad job of shaving my face

To you it was nothing
A remark that you made
Something you'd forget by the end of the day
Well, I sat up turning
Couldn't get through the night
You felt real bad but slept just right

Maybe you don't know
(Maybe you don't know)
Maybe you don't know
And it goes to show
Everything you once loved black as crow
Oh, no maybe you don't know
And it goes to show
You got your lipstick holstered black as crow
Said, maybe you don't know
And it seems to me
When everything you once loved black as can be
I said everything you once loved black as crow
