*Take Out The Trash* *Verse 1* Lipstick on a coffee mug, still sittin' in my sink, Three years of photographs that don't blink. Mama said love shouldn't feel like doin' time, I finally read the writin', read between the lines. *Pre-Chorus* Without a doubt, you checked out long ago, Without a doubt, you left me the bills and the afterglow. *Chorus* It's time to take out the trash, Old t-shirts, old lies, all that broken glass. Drag it to the curb, watch it fade so fast, Watch you disappear in a cloud of dust. It's time to take out the trash. *Verse 2* Fool's gold ring in a junk drawer, rattlin' around, Fuji in the yard, tires flat on the ground. That north wind cut through the screen that day you left, Took everything worth keepin', left me what was left. *Pre-Chorus* Without a doubt, I was the last to know, Without a doubt, you were already gone down that road. *Chorus* It's time to take out the trash, Old t-shirts, old lies, all that broken glass. Drag it to the curb, watch it fade so fast, Watch you disappear in a cloud of dust. Yeah, it's time to take out the trash. *Bridge — light it up* Light a match, let it burn, burn that bridge tonight, No more crossin' over, no more second try. Smoke in a Kansas sky, let the past be past, If you're comin' back, baby — you'll have to wade through the ash. Yeah, I'm burnin' that bridge Leaving that past at last *Final Chorus — big, dirty* It's time to take out the trash, All your maybe, all your never, gone at last. Drag it to the curb, watch it fade so fast, Just a memory in a cloud of dust. It's time to take out the trash. Without a doubt, it's time to take out the trash.
