How did I figure I was gonna drive home like that?
So I parked on the highway and slept with one hand on a baseball bat
That was back when
I knew what to call her
That was back when
She still would’ve fought me for it

But it’s over now
We had a good run, but I lucked it out
The neighbours clocked it
They know I’ve been cleaning out that tiny house
Where we could’ve settled for each other
If I was a good lover

How did we both get so damn old so fast
From a basement apartment to a time I can’t seem to sleep in past
That was back when
I didn’t have much to sing about
Way back when
I wrote a thousand songs no one cared about

But it’s over now
We had a good run, but I lucked it out
The neighbours clocked it
They know I’ve been cleaning out that tiny house
Where we were gonna settle for each other
If I was a good lover
