Verse 1:
I’m three drinks into a twenty-year buzz
If I think hard I’ll remember where I was
You were on a balcony
And I was just inside the fence
You were three words into a two-minute speech
You bowed your head then looked up at me
And I didn’t return it
And you said “well that makes perfect sense”
Chorus:
That I
Won’t know, until it’s
Time to go, how I
Miss you so,
Why am I doing this?
The flowers
In your room, have started
To bloom, and if I
Know you
You’re talkin’ to your plants again
Verse 2:
I’m three lanes left of an exit sign
I could do worse than to try to get right
But it’s so much easier to stay in my own lane
I’m three seconds into another voicemail
You text back and say, “Quit giving me hell,
This is hard for both of us—
don’t you remember what you said?”
Chorus
Verse 3:
I heard that you moved to an up-and-coming town
And I’m well past the up-and-coming down
What you were saying,
I think it’s finally clear to see
Now you’re ten years into a five-year plan
And I’m doin’ just about the best that I can
Hard to say that that bouquet
Was the end for you and me
Chorus
