lyrics

Drove up to Chimney Rock expecting snow
A light blue Camaro with no radio
And we wore windbreakers the wind ignored
And we saw our own initials
Carved into the stone

We left the car unlocked with keys inside
Without ever wondering why, oh why
And you were quiet but your eyes were wide
And your breath hung like a curtain
And split apart the light

Carolina, Carolina
All my thoughts ignored
Can’t sit in silence, sit in silence
Like this anymore
Never mind it, never mind it (I got tired, I just got tired)
I won’t win this war (I can’t take much more)
Carolina, Carolina
All my thoughts are yours

A frozen engine so we walked instead
Pacing the monolith next to the edge
To see the woods but all the trees were dead
So we saw straight to the bottom
And there was nothing left

Carolina, Carolina
All my thoughts ignored
Can’t sit in silence, sit in silence
Like this anymore
I got tired, I just got tired
I can’t take much more
Carolina, Carolina
All my thoughts are yours

Drove up to Chimney Rock expecting snow

Another night
Another time
I’ll catch you down the road
