Lyrics
How's your family, How's your mother
Does your sister still pick clovers
Does your favorite record still repeat
See I heard your brother's name
In a grocery line in Maine
Buying the ice cream we shared on sticky seats
So I'll spend another twenty
Give my whole life to a city
Where no one knows my name or cares
But looking at this old receipt
I knew we were too young to be in love
I still have your engagement ring
Oh that little red ring that you gave to me
Before we knew how to read
Oh that little red ring you gave to me
When I still hid behind my dad's knees
I still miss your boyish laugh
Making monuments from grass
And now I draw it on the back of every piece
We were explorers, we were kings
When the others called us freaks
Somehow you were the best part of me
Oh that little red ring you gave to me
Before we knew how to read
Oh that little red ring you gave to me
When I was so scared of everything
And I know that we got closure
When we were so much older
You're happy now, at least at eighteen
And they say you found your true love
Been married for eight months
And I'm right here, missing how we loved so freely
Oh that little red ring you gave to me
Before we knew how to read
Oh that little red ring you gave to me
When I still hid behind my dad's knees
So I'll leave you in our meadow
With mustard and that kettle
Drawing treasure maps to every seam
You can take your babies there
With her sunny eyes and your curly hair
Show them how we marked that special tree
Leave me in the summer breeze
Speaking through the midnight leaves
Bury me under our wildest dreams
Oh that little red ring you gave to me
Before we even knew how to read
Oh that little red ring you gave to me
When I still hid behind my dad's knees
Oh that little red ring you gave to me
When we knew nothing
Cause I still think I know nothing
