I'm retravelling 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 run and hide



But my hands get shaky and I think of all the reasons and I start to drink

I get lonely, get depressed, can't sleep well nights, can't get dressed

I can't help myself



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

Don't want to die here and nobody know





But my hands get shaky and I think of all the reasons and I start to drink

I get lonely, get depressed, can't sleep well nights, can't get dressed

I can't help myself

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
