Skinny Jeans

Tonight I'm going through the motions

One more set and I can leave

Heading back to that hotel room

And probably drink myself to sleep

And then I saw her standing there

Through the smoke and through the haze

A living, breathing memory

That's never gone away...

She said it's so damn good to see you

And how I hadn't really changed

And broken smiles and

The whiskey flowed

As we played a liar's game

And when the awkwardness of silence

Was finally shattered by last call

She took my hand and said I'm sorry

You know I loved you most of all

So won't you...

Play that one about those highway lines

It always takes me back to better times

When we were young

And there with hope and dreams...

And we could wear those skinny jeans...

And she said, she said I hope you can forgive me

For leaving all we had behind

But the silence was her answer

'Cause I never even tried...

And so we lost ourselves in darkness

And the whispers and the tears

And each with our own reasons

For turning back the years

And the morning light came slowly

To a now half empty bed

I lit the day's first cigarette

And I remembered what she said...

Play that one about those highway lines

It always takes me back to better times

When we were young

And there with hope and dreams...

And we could wear those ski
