THE LYRICS:
I could’ve been someone you exhaled next to
I could’ve been someone who made sure you’re tucked in
Crazy things I think of when I’m hurting
I’ll keep my distance including today
My life is pretty full
Half the fight is knowing
I never had control
Tell me sweetie, do you still think everything’s so amazing?
We’ve always shared the penchant for overkill
Chorus:
I may always hope you’ll call me
In my deepest down and outs
In my dreams I paint you pretty honey
But I know I’m better off without
No names in candle wax on my stairway
You’re nag champa, I’m sandalwood
Songs haunt longer
So much longer than disappointments
You knew what didn’t work for me
And now I figured it out for myself
Repeat Chorus
The second time
Wasn’t better than the first time baby
The second time
Wasn’t better than the first time honey
I could burn some sage
I could call your number
I could write you a letter
It might feel good
If now’s the right time then I think that I should
Think that I should
I think not!
Repeat Chorus
Fade:
If “x” marks the spot then I’m crossing out you
No reason to treat someone the way that you do
Goodbye honey - honey goodbye!
