lyrics

The company party for your retirement was a total hit
You daughter sang while I played
"...someone Stop This Train"

It's been six or so months since I've been seen around, being that we split
She fostered the hope that we'd be "we" again
So she never filled you in

Don't squeeze too tightly
Don't be too nice to me

The parking lot was cold, but California cold. You were shivering
You hoped that a joke would make it warm again
But not so much

Reminded that we'd never be alone ever again
You'd never get across the message
Of whether or not you are carrying

The parking lot was cold, but it was getting old--all the narrative
The passing jokes, passive agressive
I was sick and tired of it

You thought maybe in time that it would work, but it never did
You ran out the clock, not longer curious
Cause I knew
