Lyrics: Mountain Goats, The. The Recognition Scene.

You broke the doorknob off the door

The door swung open easily

You 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

I'm gonna miss you when you're gone

I'm gonna miss you when you're gone



We headed out to the getaway car

Hit the open road

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

The only love I've ever known burning underneath

I'm gonna miss you when you're gone

I'm gonna miss you when you're gone

I'm gonna miss you when you're gone

I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
