"The Recognition Scene" lyrics - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

THE MOUNTAIN GOATS
"The Recognition Scene"

We broke the doorknob off the door
The door swung open easily
We sauntered into the poorly-lit store
And looked around lazily
We stole every bit of candy they had inside
Gobbled it all up greedily on our three month ride

[Refrain:]
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone

You headed out to the getaway car
And hit the open road
I saw something written in tall, clear letters on your face
But I could not break the code
We had hot caramel sticking to our teeth
And the only love I've ever known burning underneath

[Refrain:]
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone

[Outro:]
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
