Good and Bye(Home)

here's to ben folds and car drives

maybe summer's just running late

here's to nashville and madison street

if home is where the heart is, this place is heartless

no more matinees, no more moonlight

if the world was gonna end it might as well be tonight

i walked you home, you smiled the whole way

when we got to your doorstep you said goodbye, for good

you said, hey kid, it's nothing personal

but love is not a pendant on a chain

and i replied

well fuck you too, you and your fake smile

you're nothing more than hypocrite in high heels

won't you keep it locked up for while girl

it's gonna be a long night

and a secret's not a secret

if a lover's life is at stake

i'll be your best friend if you'll be mine

and i'll show you a good time if you just ask

promises on prom night are flawless

til you turn your back

he said she said running through the big fields

you gotta come quick if you're ever gonna get here

time it's just about time we called it quits

and i'll take three steps if you'll take four

if i'm your chandaleer then you're my dancefloor

so i don't really need you and you don't need me

here's to summing up the last three years in the words of a song

here's to your thoughts being whispered in my ear all day

here's to the plaid blankets you used to lay on all the time

here's to "us" being referred to in the past tense
