[Verse 1] You left your jacket on the laundromat chair A paper ticket and a comb in the pocket there The change machine ate my last two dimes I kicked the door and watched the red sign blink [Pre-Chorus] You said, “Be good,” like a warning label I said, “I’ll try,” then I pulled the cable [Chorus] We were running on borrowed time With our names scratched into the table You took the map, I took the blame We made a mess and called it a fable If you’re still out there, say it plain I’m done pretending I’m unable [Verse 2] Your old address is a grocery store The mailbox gone, new paint on the door I bought cold coffee, stood in the aisle And laughed too loud at a crooked smile [Pre-Chorus] You said, “Be good,” like a warning label I said, “I’ll try,” then I pulled the cable [Chorus] We were running on borrowed time With our names scratched into the table You took the map, I took the blame We made a mess and called it a fable If you’re still out there, say it plain I’m done pretending I’m unable [Bridge] No grand goodbye, no final scene Just one last bus and a magazine I kept the ticket, tore the rest Some things leave, some stay in your chest [Final Chorus] We were running on borrowed time With our names scratched into the table You took the map, I took the blame We made a mess and called it a fable If you’re still out there, say it plain I’m done pretending I’m unable [Outro] I’m done pretending I’m done pretending
