Nickels And Dimes

Why are nickels bigger than dimes?
I can’t stop pondering
I’ve begun this letter a thousand times
My mind keeps wandering

I should say it was great to see you
I’m so glad you had a wonderful time

You made home seem very near
But darling, I
Don’t think you should come back here
And OK, here’s why

It’s not your fault, you just remind me
Of a lie I’m trying to forget
And until I put it all behind
I’m asking, no, I’m pleading will you let...

Me go somewhere I’ve not been
I bet you know exactly what I mean
Because you said yourself
It’s like we’re walking off
On two completely different paths
