Graduation Day Letra

You say there's something better than this

I watched you moving like wine
It was so far ahead, I was too far behind
But I burned like an ember at the edge of your mind
You said, "There's nothing better than this"

It took far too long to realize
You were overly silent, I was overly wired
Grew like an island from the backs of your eyes
You know, you can do better than this

I'll sit here and think of your name
I'll remember your answers; they were always the same
If I hadn't been burned by your fabulous flame
I know I could do better than this
