Well, I hear you're driving someone else's car now

She said you came and took your stuff away

All the poetry in the trunk you kept your life in

I knew that it would come to that some day

[Pre-chorus 1]

Like a sad hallucination

When I opened up my eyes

The train had passed the station

And you were trapped inside

And I never wonder where you went

I only wonder why, I wonder why

[Chorus]

Oh, Caroline

Oh-oh-oh-oh, Caroline

Oh-oh-ohhh, Caroline

Whoa-whoa-oh, Caroline

Well, I hear you're using someone else's number

She said she saw you in the store today

It doesn't matter whose address you're listed under

I only know they'll never make you stay

[Pre-chorus]

Like a memory in motion

You were only passing through

That is all you'll ever know of life

That's all you'll ever do

There's a dream I have where I sail away

Looking back I wave at you

And I wave goodbye

[Chorus]

Oh, Caroline

Oh-oh-oh-oh, Caroline

Oh-oh-ohhh, Caroline

Oh, oh-oh

Every tear that's ever fallen from your eyes

Behind those eyes I wonder
