Verse 1:

I'm re-travelling 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 up 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 that wandered on, and I'm still the girl that lied

'Cause when I'd tell the truth

You would, you would run and hide


Pre-Chorus:

La de da


Chorus:

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


Verse 2:

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'll watch them fall



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

I don't want to die here and nobody know


Chorus:

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

'Cause I get lonely, get depressed

Don't sleep well nights, can't get dressed


Outro:

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
