Girlfriend On A Gap Year

You can leave the light on

Let it flicker in the still of your back hall

As I put my shoes on

You made a promise that you'd visit me in the fall

I ran into your mother

Neither of us had that much to say

But I hear you're well now

Your plane gets in Thanksgiving Day

But pretend it never happened

Slowly building up a wall between us

I could use the satisfaction

And you could suck it up and leave me feeling

Crushed

I hear you have a boyfriend

I'm really glad you feel okay to date

Heard that he's an asshole

He plays a sport I tried in second grade

I want to turn the light on

But my heart's just full enough to break

But pretend it never happened

Slowly building up a wall between us

I could use the satisfaction

And you could suck it up and leave me feeling

Crushed

Help you let me down

If that makes us cool now
