I haven't been to Wilmington
Not since he said goodbye
But I was never there for him
Only you and I know why
That steel bench means far too much
Than a simple thing ever should
I remember what happened there
The ugly, the bad, the good
The gods that should've smote us
We made mockery of their mountains
My god, how I adored us
But the end, we both could sense
I miss the beach I walked on
Well by now you know that lie
I really came that winter
Because I couldn't say goodbye
I miss the friendly strangers
Though I wasn't there for them
I crave a sense of danger
When friendships start to end
I miss that town
But I'm past that now
I'm even eating peaches
It's been a while
But now I smile
Remembering these places
