When the floods of August
Tore right through this town
We wondered what would be revealed
And what dreams would drown
Now I see you made it
And you heard I made it, too
But the sane washed away from our foundations
In fact you can see right through
And now we're barely there
Oh, we're barely there
Oh yeah, we're barely there
You can squint or you can stare
But we're barely there
Now the paths we once walked
They're all rocks and vines
Holding tight to what they've got
Purchase beneath these pines
Now I tried holding tight to you
But you slipped away in time
Faded like this road trip photo
From 1989
And now we're barely there
Oh, we're barely there
Oh yeah, we're barely there
Once you loved me like a dare
Now we're barely there
And now we're barely there
Oh we're barely there
You can see us through the glare
But we're barely there
Oh, we're barely there
Now we're barely there
Like a phantom or a flare
But we were solid once, I swear
Now you hardly have to care
Cause we're barely there
