He said to me over the phone he wanted to see other people
I thought, well then, look around, they're everywhere
said that he was confused
I thought darlin' join the club
24 years old mid life crisis
nowadays hits ya when you're young
I hung up he called back I hung up again
the process had already started
at least it happened quick
I swear I died inside that night
a friend he called
I didn't mention a thing
the last thing he said was be sound
SOUND
I contemplated an awful a thing I hate to admit
I just thought those would be such appropriate last words
but I'm still here
small so small
how could this trouble seem so big
so big
where the palms in the breeze still blow green
and the waves in the C still absolute blue
but the horror every single thing I see is a reminder of him
never thought I'd curse the day I'd met him
and since he's gone and wouldn't hear who would care
what good would that do
but I'm still here
so I imagine in a month or twelve
I'll be somewhere havin' a drink laughin' at a stupid joke or just another stupid thing
and I can see myself stopping short
drifting outta the present
sucked by the undertow and pulled out deep
and there I am standing wet grass and white headstones all in rows
and in the distance there's one off on it's own
so I stop kneel, my new home
and I picture a sober awakening a reentry into this little bar scene
sip my drink till the ice hits my lip
order another round
and that's it for now
sorry
never been to good at happy endings

I can't stop thinking about this song either.
I just can't listen to it right now. I listened to it once and once only. It has just been to painful to play again. I've never had a song hit me like that before...I've never had a song I can't bring myself to listen to again.
