Cold Wet Feet

Oh, wait up, where have you been?

I've been waiting on the couch since a quarter past ten

Oh, tell me where did you go?

I've been calling your phone, it's a half past four

So tonight, I'll go to bed alone

I'll stare at the ceiling, I'll check my cell phone

But there'll be no call from you or any other

Instead I get text messages from my mother

Oh, tell me when you ceased to believe

Did it seep like water into socks on your cold wet feet?

Oh, and tell me now can your eyes really see

just how you're losing me?

So this morning, I woke up alone

I stared at the ceiling, I checked my cell phone

But there was no call from you or any other

Instead I sent a text message to my mother

All my friends say "g, baby, don't you fear it

Honey, find yourself a rebound lover, drink your weight in spirits."

But whiskey and men won't make you're smile fade

It's not an even trade

So today, I went down to the beach alone

I threw my tears into the ocean, I couldn't check my cell phone

Down on Dallas, Baby, I'm out of range

To be without you feels so strange

Maybe I should just throw myself into my music

Spin this pain into gold, Honey, don't think I won't use it

And every love song I sang to you from my heart

now has a darker counterpart

So, now I'll go out on the road alone

I'll sing my songs into the darkness

I won't check my cell phone
