I'm retravelling this lifeline that's so close to home We are on our way to West Point Where your perfect, blond cousin Will throw his hat in the air And we will watch it fall
And I'm still the girl that loved you When your eyes were open wide I'm still the girl who wandered on And I'm still the girl that lied 'Cause when I'd tell the truth, you would You would run and hide
But my hands get shaky and I think of all the reasons And I start to drink I get lonely, get depressed, don't sleep well nights Can't get dressed I can't help myself
You'll order beer and a sandwich, at the bar at the hotel And you'll want to tell me something Just like every other time And our hopes will rise And we will watch them fall
'Cause you're still written in my days All the pages coming back to me I will carry you along, singing discreetly Old raincoat, two lives, no boyfriend, no wife Don't want to die here and nobody know Don't want to die here and nobody know
But my hands get shaky and I think of all the reasons And I start to drink I get lonely, get depressed, don't sleep well nights Can't get dressed I can't help myself
I get lonely, get depressed, don't sleep well nights Can't get dressed Don't want to die here and nobody know Don't want to die here and nobody know Don't want to die here and nobody know Don't want to die ... here
