glue stuck to my shoes
does anyone know why
you play with an orange rind
you say you packed my things and
divided what was mine
you're off to the mountain top
I say her skinny legs could use sun
but now I'm wishing
for my best impression
of my best Angie Dickinson
but now I've got to worry cause
boy you still look pretty
when you're putting the damage on
don't make me scratch on your door
I never left you for a Banjo
I only just turned around
for a poodle and a corvette
[...]
I'm trying not to move
it's just your ghost passing through
I said I'm trying not to move
it's just your ghost passing through
it's just your ghost passing through
and now I'm quite sure
there's a light in your platoon
I never seen a light move
like yours can do to me
[...]
but I've got a place to go
I've got a ticket to your late show
and I'm worrying cause even still
you sure are pretty
when you're putting the damage on

| Why can’t i let this go?
Why
Do i keep something going that is already gone?
You’ve been
Planning this
You want to do other things
It will be good for you
But now I need to
Pretend
That I am strong
I’m worried I don’t know what to do
Because to me you are as beautiful as ever
Even when you’re breaking my heart
Don’t make me beg for attention, for friendship
I never changed!
I just took a different angle
And looked elsewhere for life
[...]
I try not to let myself think this way because
I know it’s the memory of what we had that I miss
I try not to let myself think this way because
I know it’s the memory of what we had that I miss
I know it’s the memory of what we had that I miss
...
I see you from a distance (on a podium? oops)
There is something special you have
That affects me like no one else
[...]
But I know I have other things to do
I will, however, stay a part of your life
And I worry because, even still
I love you
Even when it’s “over.”
