Then the rains they came
From thick unbroken clouds
And washed out all the names
From tired little towns
Summer gone away
To some California Coast
Yeah I don’t mind...
I never saw her around much anyway

But I can not be still
Though it courses through my veins
Songs that never lived
Songs that stayed the same
And it turned around the truth
And it knocked you off your feet
Yeah the world was on your backÊ
And you wouldn’t carry that weight

Oh and Caroline you should’ve
Captured their hearts why you still could
But you just threw it away
Did your really think you’d live forever
Caroline

And one by one they fell
Barely clinging to their names
Technology overflowing,
‘Til its flowing from their brains
And nobody knew the words
And nobody knew to sing
And nobody had the time
To talk about it anyway

Oh and Caroline you should’ve
Captured their hearts why you still could
But you just threw it away
Did your really think you’d live forever
Caroline

They just all sold you down the line
And your looking for forgiveness
Every time you shut your eyes
But your faded and old
And they never will love you

Oh and Caroline you should’ve
Captured their hearts why you still could
But you just threw it away
Did your really think you’d live forever

Caroline you should’ve
Captured their hearts why you still could
But you just threw it away
Did you really think you’d live forever
Caroline
Caroline
Caroline

You should just throw it away
Do you really think you’d live forever
Yeah you live forever...
Yeah you live forever...
Yeah you live forever...
