Choosing my words carefully
Has never been my strength
I've been known to be vague

And often pointless
But you sure as %#@! know me
Better than anybody else

And for that in my heart I am hopeful

So I helped you pack your bags

And I folded up your snap shirts
When you come back
It will already be the winter

If you look at other girls
Working out in the nighttime
I don't mind but I don't want to know it


And these years that I have known you
It's gone and blurred my sense of time

Now I can hardly even recall
What came before this
Letters left on pillows

Messages left on phones
Postcards in the mail
When we sent them

Cobwebs all collected
Paintings on the walls
Lounging around all day

In a hot pink chenille housecoat
And the secrets that I whispered
In your ear while you were sleeping

You can call to mind when you're
Out in the world without me


Oh the denim king
I sure as %#@! do love you
And I cuss because I mean it

And for that in my heart I am hopeful
And these words that I chose
I was so careful
