In Town

There's no need to talk about it, I know
Seven hours between us and we both hate to talk on the phone
So can't this wait until I'm back home?

'Cause if I was there with you now it would be different
I would quietly hold you tight, 'cause sometimes there's just nothing to say
When I'm close I understand your silences but with the distance…
You have no idea how hard I wish I could be with you now, 'cause if I was

You wouldn't be sobbing to that guy about how your boyfriend's a selfish asshole
And he wouldn't be there stealing the space I can't fill, auditioning for my role
I could choose to drop it all, well, fuck it I’m not
I busted my ass to get everything that I've got

Five in the morning, we're seven in a van, back on the road again
Do you really think I'm only doing it for fun?
The places I visit, the people I meet, I wish you could see that too
My memories, I wish I could share them with you

So that's why as soon as I get enough money in this wallet
I’ll buy a ticket for you to fly away from all these stupid things you wanna be,
From everything you're building without me

Just so you know, I'll be in town tomorrow
Are you still mad I chose not to choose what I already had?
Please tell me our love is never gonna fade
Tell me you still want to fight for that conviction we once had
That our love's gonna be strong enough to do better
Than all these broken-hearted long distance lovers

Yes I get to meet other girls, yes they're hot and breezy
Yes sometimes when I get drunk it's getting harder and harder
'Cause yes, they are more fun than you are
Maybe there's some charm in not winning all the time
""Why didn't you return my calls?""

No I won't tell you the truth, you couldn't handle it
Anyway with you it's all about what you want to believe
Yeah we’re in a strip club but I swear I’m not looking, babe
Fuck the size of her boobs, I'll always prefer yours

Just so you know, I'll be in town tomorrow
Are you still mad I chose not to choose what I already had?
Please tell me our love is never gonna fade
Tell me you still want to fight for that conviction we once had
That our love's gonna be strong enough to do better
Than all these broken-hearted long distance lovers

Last time I saw you and the baby at the church
Seemed nothing had changed
But when I signed the papers
They'd put ""God"" before ""father""
Maybe the least selfish thing I've ever done
Was to get out of the way and tell you to run

And by the way, I was in town yesterday
But I couldn’t find the strength to stop by
And stare at all that I chose to leave behind
How I feel about you is never gonna change
If everything's spinning around
I'll stand still on my own solid ground
But I guess love was not enough for us either
