I should have moved on long ago. Why I still want you I don't know. These days my best laid plans,. Are built on shifting sands, It's not like I don't know you said goodbye..
Standing in the shadows alone. Waiting for someone. Always thinking he's about to show up. But he never does. But if you ain't gonna play by the rules.
Outside my window I see a red bird singin' sittin' on a wire. Wish I knew what hes thinkin' outside my window. I see a couple kissin huggin' and a-lovin'.
These are the eyes I know. These are the lips I kiss. These are the hands I hold. I live for this. . This is the life I want. This is my only hope. That we'll share the days together.
I left Lawrence, Kansas. At the age of seventeen. To chase down my own version. Of the American dream. . Cowboy boots, a tie-dye dress. In mom's ol' minivan.
I've been spending so much time. Growing scared and weary. All the days are falling behind me. . Round and round and up and down. My damn head is spinning.
God I hate this little town. It's like you fall in love and you can't get out. 'Cause when I think I've set you down. Somebody opens up their mouth. .
I put the locket you gave me in a shoe box. With all my favorite high school pictures in a ziplock. So when I think about myself and all that I'm not.
I left Lawrence, Kansas,. At the age of seventeen,. To chase down my own version,. Of the American dream... Cowboy boots, a tie-dye dress,. In Mom's ol' mini-van:.
