I get up early on a Saturday
Walk up to 5th just after eight
Get a coffee and stroll leisurely
Back down through the park
And in the evenings like we used to
If I don’t have something else to do
I’ll go out and eat someplace
But never more than a couple miles away
And I know we split our things in half
And we had that night you have to have
Cried in a car, then on a bed
Made sure there was nothing left
And the thought of running into you
Doesn’t get me like it used to
I’m not dying to see your face
But look what I’m trying to say is
I’m around…
If all your bullshit friends let you down
I might’ve left your life but I didn’t leave town
I hope it’s obvious but if you don’t know by now
I’m around
And I never could’ve seen it then
On your birthday by the ocean
That you would dig so deep, get so cold
Be so mean
And I know I’m not the greatest
But I’m not the worst guy you ever dated
I’m not the one who got away but
I’m around…
So if all your bullshit friends let you down
I might’ve left your life but I didn’t leave town
I hope it’s obvious but if you don’t know by now
I’m around
So if you’re scared or you just need some place to sleep
I’ll take the couch, no we don’t have to talk or anything
I hope it’s obvious but if you don’t know by now
I don’t think I can forgive all the things you said
The way you talked about me to my brother, to our friends
I’m not trying to forget, my part in all of it
I’m just trying to let you know that…
If all your bullshit friends let you down…
I’m around…
