She stumbles out of her dress, and over to the mattress
and does for me her pin-up girl impression
she clicks a broken lighter, which mocks the fire inside her
I start in on my confession-
I say "I've loved you since the day I met you,"
you say you're leaving, but I can't let you
cause I've been trying but I can't get you
off my mind, not since the day I met you
I wake up on some shag rug next to two coffee mugs
empty, but together
and I give up on hoping that the back door swinging open
is a product of the late November weather
and I've loved her since the day I met her
she says she's leaving, but I can't let her
I've been trying, but I can't get her
off my mind, not since the day I met her
she'd come home every couple years when she'd need cleanin' up
let myself believe that I could ever be enough
but here I am alone again, just howling at the moon
to the same old refrain "I'll be back home soon..."
half a lifetime later, I've learned not to hate her... or myself
for who we were back then
but those eyes that always knew me, I swear they'd cut right through me
if she caught me in her gaze again
Because I've loved her since the day I met her
and I've forgiven, but I can't forget her
I've been trying, but I can't get her
off my mind now since the day I met her
yeah I've loved you since the day I met you
you say you're leaving, but I can't let you
cause I've been trying but I can't get you
off my mind, not since the day I met you
