253
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I watched her smile
Dissolve like Alka Seltzer
And in all honesty
Man, I wish I could have helped her
But the words I spoke
Fell leaden to the ground
Hitting that carpet
With a muffled clanging sound
I remember sitting later on the 253
Trying not to cry
But the crime's on me
Sick to my stomach
Feel so guilty
But I can't change the fact that
She had nothing that I needed
So over years the love receded
A bit like her old man's hairline
.. And mine
And at first,
She was all that I could see
'Til other girls appeared in my periphery
And we lost something,
Or so it seems
Fading like her favorite jeans
I can't read her face
Listen in an unknown language
I just hold her pretty hand
'Cause that's about all I can manage
I wish you wouldn't look at me that way
Knowing I'm a selfish bastard
She'll be thanking me one day
And maybe we can even laugh at this after
I remember sitting later on the 253
Trying not to cry
But the crimes on me
Sick to my stomach
Feel so guilty
But I can't change the fact that
She had nothing that I needed
So over years the love receded
A bit like her old man's hairline
.. And mine
And at first,
She was all that I could see
'Til other girls appeared in my periphery
And we lost something,
Or so it seems
Fading like her favorite jeans
No, no, no, no promises
No, no, no, no promises
No, no, no, no promises
No promises
No promises
And this is the final curtain call
As in and out of love we fall
And it's toO late to change that
Oh, it's too late to explain
That..
She had nothing that I needed
So over years the love receded
A bit like her old man's hairline
.. And mine
And at first,
She was all that I could see
'Til other girls appeared in my periphery
And we lost something,
Or so it seems
Fading like her favorite jeans
She had nothing that I needed
So over years the love receded
A bit like her old man's hairline
.. And mine
And at first,
She was all that I could see
'Til other girls appeared in my periphery
And we lost something,
Or so it seems
Fading like her favorite jeans
No, no, no, no promises
No, no, no, no promises
No, no, no, no promises
No promises
No promises
No, no, no, no promises
No, no, no, no promises
No, no, no, no promises
No promises
No promises
