Walking By lyrics

Your grand dad left ome for the circus.
He was young just like me, with hopes to explore
He married a girl in Virginia
She could swing the trapeze; they could sleep on the floor

Your mother was born in December
On the one sunny day that winter gave up
She had warm smmer eyes that flickered like fire flys
when she stared at the world

so why do you leave these stories unfinished
my cheshire cat with tears in her eyes?
Why do you look when you`ve already found me?
What did you find that could leave you walking by?

She was raised in a new england village
then she moved to LA with her firefly stare
and you loved sunset strip when it sparkled,
you grew up and you sparkled but why won`t you care.

so why do you leave these stories unfinished
my cheshire cat with tears in her eyes?
Why do you look when you`ve already found me?
What did you find that could leave you walking by?

These nights I get high just from breathing
when I lie here with you, I`m sure that I`m real
like that firework over the freeway
I could stay here all day but thats not how you feel

So why do you leave there questions unanswered?
The circus awaits and you`re already gone.
my cheshire cat doorstop with fear in her smile
what makes it so easy for you to be walking by?

and what did I do that you can`t seem to want me
why do we lie here and whisper goodbyes?
Where can I go that your pictures won`t haunt me
what makes it so easy for you to be walking by
