West Point

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm re-travelling this lifeline That's so close to home We are on our way to West Point Where your perfect, blond cousin Will throw his hat up in the air And we will watch it fall [Verse 2] And I'm still the girl that loved you When your eyes were open wide I'm still the girl that wandered on And I'm still the girl that lied 'Cause when I'd tell the truth You would, you would run and hide [Chorus] But my hands get shaky and I think of All the reasons and I start to drink I get lonely, get depressed Don't sleep well nights, can't get dressed I can't help myself [Verse 3] You'll order beer and a sandwich At the bar at the hotel And you'll want to tell me something Just like every other time And our hopes will rise And we'll watch them fall [Verse 4] You're still written in my days All the pages coming back to me I will carry you along, singing discreetly Old raincoat, two lives No boyfriend, no wife Don't want to die here and nobody know I don't want to die here and nobody know [Chorus] But my hands get shaky and I think of All the reasons and I start to drink I get lonely, get depressed Don't sleep well nights, can't get dressed I can't help myself 'Cause I get lonely, get depressed Don't sleep well nights, can't get dressed [Outro] Don't want to die here and nobody know Don't want to die here and nobody know Don't want to die here and nobody know Don't want to die here
