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
