[Verse 1] Cardboard boxes stacked along your porch Your name in marker on the one that said "toys" We split an ice pop, purple on our knees And neither of us made a single noise [Pre-Chorus] Then the big truck groaned and the back doors shut You pressed your hand flat on the window glass [Chorus] And I'm still waving, waving from the curb Arm up high till the corner swallowed you Oh, I'm still waving, never said the word Some little part of me is waving still for you [Verse 2] Your half of the bracelet, my half in a drawer Our chalk hopscotch was gone by the end of June I knocked on the fence where the loose board was A stranger's dog barked back instead of you [Pre-Chorus] They said I'd forget, said I'd make new friends And I did, but I never let my arm come down [Chorus] And I'm still waving, waving from the curb Arm up high till the corner swallowed you Oh, I'm still waving, never said the word Some little part of me is waving still for you [Bridge] I wouldn't know your face now, wouldn't know your voice Maybe you grew taller than that maple tree If you ever drive slow down our old road There's a kid by the mailbox, and it's me [Chorus] And I'm still waving, waving from the curb Arm up high till the corner swallowed you Oh, I'm still waving, never said the word Some little part of me is waving still for you [Outro] Still waving Oh, still waving for you
