lyrics

I heard the news or rather saw it myself
Right in the shoes you said you left on the shelf

I didn’t buy it
Though it was right there I still denied it
My worst nightmare, I guess the time was really-

-Right in the dive bar I saw you trying not to look
Like I was the eyesore standing in the fire barefoot

I didn’t buy it
Though you were right there next to him smiling
Stepping proudly in your old shoes, so I stepped out-

-Side for some air you bee-lined out in a rush
Pleaded I was a good guy, guess I wasn’t good enough

I should have known it
It was right there in that moment
I finally bought it
Oh, I finally bought it

Five months had passed, I missed a call in the van
I was driving and blasting songs from your favorite band
I checked it at the rest stop, saw your name and hit send
But I never got an answer, never heard from you again

Why did you try it
Did a change of heart make you excited
Then a change of mind just left you silent
Did you take that missed call as a sign, and
Well I guess that’s fine, I guess the time was never
Right
