Mid Century Modern Lyrics

Heard you're going through a divorce
But you're still at the same address of course
Mid century modern, car parked right out front
Same spot as it was
Wasn't that your folk's place?
Where we'd hook up as each July came
Let love arrive then slip away
As easily as the summer

If I wrote it all down
Would I have told you this before
If I'd put it all to bed
Could I explain any more
How long summer shadows fall

I try so hard to forget you
I try so hard to forget you

I drive past your house sometimes
Make the excuse it's the short way round
Think of all those years before
No longer modern but getting old

I said I'd write it all down
If I could remember everything
But I left it all there
Thinking one day I'd return
How long summer shadows fall

I try so hard to forget you
I try so hard to forget you

Mid century modern house all crumbling down
Some things that start so well just don't seem to work out
Funny how that photograph survived
You and me both so young and alive

I try so hard to forget you
I try so hard to forget you
I try so hard to forget you

Forget you
To forget you
