I Swear

It’s been a couple of days since
You woke up on the wrong side of bed
On the wrong side of town
The wrong side of my head
And I probably would have never known
If you weren’t wearing his cologne
Saying here’s how it happened
That’s how it happened
I swear
It’s been a couple of months since
You told me what I meant
Showed me just how much
How happy we should have been
And I probably would have thought the same
If your tongue didn’t taste his name
Saying here’s how it happened
That’s how it happened
I swear
That’s how it happened
That’s how it happened
I swear
There’s been too many ‘I don’t know’s
Too many to count
I don’t know where you’ve been
I don’t know why I’m still around
But it probably would have been all right
If you hadn’t been all night
Saying here’s how it happened
That’s how it happened
I swear
That’s how it happened
That’s how it happened
I swear
It’s been a couple of hours since
You told me what I meant
And showed me just how much
How happy we’ve never been
Yet every time I try to speak
You always have to turn on me
Saying here’s how it happened
That’s how it happened
I swear
That’s how it happened
That’s how it happened
And I don’t even care
That’s how it happened
That’s how it happened
I swear

Rutland

Brush the blond hair from your eyes
Said you’d gone there once or twice
Pulled in and stopped at an old restaurant
Drove off into the morning light
I used to dream about Vermont
How it’d feel to call it home
But lately I’ve been thinking
About the reason that I’m drinking
And I’m this close to writing you a song
Baby, I want to try this one more time
Save me from the nothings and goodbyes
I want to hear your voice
If you want to hear mine
Baby, I’m in Rutland for the night
You pushed the bottle to your lips
You swore it helped with all of this
But your body filled with smoke
When I told you I was going
It’s been years now since then
You used to dream about it all
Let the morning in the call
Maybe now I’m older
Maybe that’ll show you
I’m the one who couldn’t just move on
Baby, can we try this one more time
Can we pretend tears never left your eyes
I want to hold you close
Without it turning to a fight
Baby, I’m in Rutland for the night
Out of all my mistakes
If I could just make this one right
Baby, I’m in Rutland for the night

Ghost Town

I was there when the wind
Shuffled through this town again
We watched the sky shake through the trees
From the window by the sink
The lights kick on overhead
I've been lost and I've been led
Now the night is coming back
How many times has it done that
Oh not enough
For it to make things right
No not enough
For you to apologize
Oh not enough
I was there when the bars
Caved in with all the stars
The prison walls fell on the dirt
But you’re the chain that kept its word
Alleys filled with blistered hands
From all the money that they spent
Now the town's run out of cash
How many times did we do that
Oh not enough
For it to make things right
No not enough
For you to apologize
Oh no not enough
I was there when you sank
Washed your shoulders with the rain
There's still patches on the floor
From the bottle that we poured
The shops are closed down for the week
It's a ghost town when it sleeps
But the crowd always comes back
How many times did you do that
Oh not enough
For it to make things right
No not enough
For you to apologize
Oh not enough
For it to make things right
No not enough
For you to apologize
Oh not enough
No not enough

Doctor's Orders

I've spent too much time on angels
Gave up prayer when I found the pill
The doctor fed me by the kilo
Until she was all I felt
I spent so much money on nothing
On memories I can't cash in
Another weekend being someone
That she might have danced with
She said she wants me enough to be sober
She said she needs me enough to fly straight
She said she loves me enough to come home but
She don't love me enough to stay
I've spent too much time just working
I've worn these hands down to the bone
When my heart played like an organ
And the notes rang through your soul
I spent so much money on something
Whether it was ever real or not
Now all I've got are calls from no one
When I learned to steal from God
She said she wants me enough to be sober
She said she needs me enough to fly straight
She said she loves me enough to come home but
She don't love me enough to stay
(repeat chorus)
But she don't love me enough to stay
