I'm butter on a summer day when she's around
I was on the track when the gate came down.
Certainly I recognized
those blood-shot rear-view mirror eyes of mine.
I heard that whistle call my name.
I almost drove away, but Megan I
had a feeling that you would be on that train
so I just waited there for you
Another ride to another town where the air was clean
and the sun never goes down.
Everyone was standing in a line
between the landing and the stairs.
I heard somebody call my name
I almost climbed the stairs, but Megan I
had a feeling that someday you'd meet me there.
So I just waited there for you.
I'm butter on a summer day when I hear that name
it's a dream that never came true.
Sat down on the track and waited for a train
to take me back to you.
Somebody came and took my hand.
I finally had to go.
But Megan I just want you to know
that I waited as long as I could.

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
probably an old love interest, that he moved on after waiting for so long
You know, Bayside also does this song. What I would like to know is who did it first. It really is a beautiful song. It really is.
The original artist of the song is the Smoking Popes. Anthony from Bayside is very much influenced by Josh Caterer, listen and you will be able to tell fairly easily the similarities...by the way, great song

a two year late reply: This version came before Bayside's version. But as the one above me said: Smoking popes wrote and performed it first :)

Also, this is not Lagwagon. It's a group called Bad Astronaut, with Lagwagon's singer and a few other great musicians. Great song!
@issacstar actually not bad astronaut either. Many bands have played this song, but It was originally written by Josh Caterer of Smoking Popes. It originally appeared on Destination Failure (1997)

@Voodoo58 I know that, but if someone mistakes this for a Lagwagon song, they are listening to the cover by Bad Astronaut (same singer as Lagwagon) made for the Smoking Popes' tribute album.
