Additional Lyrics:
Verse 2: The other side of town a boy is waiting, with fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal. She drives on through the night anticipating, ‘cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel
(Break)
She rushes to his arms, they fall together, she whispers that it’s only for a while. She swears that soon she’ll be coming back forever, she pulls away and leaves him with a smile.
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3: She gets up and pours herself a strong one, and stares out at the stars up in the sky. Another night and its gonna be a long one, she draws the shade and hangs her head to cry.
(Break)
She wonders how it ever got this crazy, she thinks about a boy she knew in school. Did she get tired or did she just get lazy, she’s so far gone she feels just like a fool.
My oh my, you sure know how to arrange things, you set it up so well, so carefully.
Ain’t it funny how your new life didn’t change things, you’re still the same old girl you used to be.
Repeat Chorus
