Lyrics

Pack up your things by mid-August
I guess I won't be seeing your face for a while
Three seasons, an ocean, how else can I measure
This distance of five thousand miles

I'll walk by your street
You know that I will
I just can't stay away
Your door will be closed
Your drape will be down
I'll still expect to see you but you won't be around...

What can I give you
To take when you go
The 3, 17th street, and cups of froyo
I know that you're leaving
And I'll get along
But I think you should know
I might miss you when you're gone

Remember the day that I found
20 bucks on the ground
It turned out to be yours
Or how 'bout the time it was raining
We walked out of class and still marched up Dolores

The way that you shriek
when attacked by feet
and the weird thing you do to my hand
Gino's at night
Your impressive height
And not-so-secret relations with Fran

I'll walk by your street
You know that I will
I just can't stay away
Your door will be closed
Your drape will be down
I'll still expect to see you but you won't be around...

What can I give you
To take when you go
Boss and being Braz, and how I cried at the Castro
Two years of our lives
And one little song
But I think you should know
I might miss you when you're gone

Wish you could come over every day
We have so little time
And when I hear that Jobim song
You'll be on my mind

After you leave
We'll be over for lunch at your house
I'd say at least once a week
Rod will be there
We'll eat feta and pear
And foccacia with toasted white cheese
Your mom will come home
And we'll all sit around
And they'll teach us some more Portuguese
So when you come back we can all go to Rio
And tan on the tropical beach

I'll walk by your street
You know that I will
I just can't stay away
Your door will be closed
Your drape will be down
I'll still expect to see you but you won't be around...

What can I give you
So you know that it's true
You're from Rio and Sydney
But San Francisco too
How much do I love you
By now you should know
That strange as it seems
I might miss you
I might miss you when you go
I might miss you when you go
Might miss you
I might miss you when you're gone.
