c23o15416s521222ooo12m

c23o15416s521222ooo12m

c23o15416s521222ooo12m

c23o15416s521222ooo12m
[Jacob Brackman/Fred Gardner]
c23o15416s521222ooo12m

c23o15416s521222ooo12m
I said that I felt jailed up
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
As if our doors were nailed up
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
I said I needed separate places,
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
Parties, room to move around in.
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
I said I needed my fling
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
Had to get out and do some other thing.
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
It took me months to calculate
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
That I had nothing left without you-
c23o15416s521222ooo12m

c23o15416s521222ooo12m
[Chorus:]
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
Dan, my fling is all flung out
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
Now I've got to fall back on dreams
c23o15416s521222ooo12m

c23o15416s521222ooo12m
I thought I'd try and write you
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
I thought I'd try and phone you
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
I thought I'd try to tell you
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
That I smell your hair still on my pillow
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
But you'd just mile to please me
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
You'd shake your head, you'd tease me -
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
Remind me it was I who first claimed
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
That we both required freedom
c23o15416s521222ooo12m

c23o15416s521222ooo12m
[Chorus]
c23o15416s521222ooo12m

c23o15416s521222ooo12m
I'd dream up schemes to meet you,
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
I'd nonchalantly greet you,
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
I'd ask you up for coffee
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
Anytime you had an hour open.
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
You say you like my hair long,
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
You ask me if I've written any new songs,
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
You'd laugh, you'd turn and cross the street
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
And leave me dizzy with your laughter -
c23o15416s521222ooo12m

c23o15416s521222ooo12m
[Chorus]
c23o15416s521222ooo12m

c23o15416s521222ooo12m
I hear you're leaving this town,
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
You and some girl gonna travel around,
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
You bought a car with foldback seats,
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
you'll camp out by the lakes and forests.
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
I lie alone in our old bed,
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
Your laughter it's echoin' inside my head.
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
I close my eyes, I smell your hair
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
It's like I haven't slept in years -
c23o15416s521222ooo12m

c23o15416s521222ooo12m
[Chorus]
c23o15416s521222ooo12m
