Alaska from Interboro Ave. by The Carpenter Downstairs

Well I heard you moved to Alaska
Took a 12-passenger boat across Pugett Sound
I guess you saw your chance at the life you'd been after
And traded everything you knew for some Anchorage ground

And I got your call the 5th of December
You said that life was just fine, it was everything that you'd been hoping for
And you told me to always remember
That nothing that I've felt hasn't been felt before

And I don't really know how this story ends
I don't really know how this story ends

Well I heard a voice in the rafters
Residual memory from a day gone to rest
And I can see straight through the holes in the plaster
Into the room where I grew up, singing songs about the girls I wished I'd kissed

And I saw our house closed up like a casket
It happened so fast I could barely comprehend
A wind blew in from the distant Appalachians
And once it hit the walls we either broke or we bent

I don't really know how this story ends
I don't really know how this story ends
I don't really know how this story ends
I don't really know how this story ends
