Plans in Pencil

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She was only 22 She left a note laced in her perfume It was supposed to say, "I love you" But a goodbye would have to do I know it's not supposed to be this way After hours of conversation, he was supposed to stay But isn't that typical? And that's why she makes plans in pencil [Chorus] Now that it's over and those brown eyes are gone All the memories, tattooed in permanent ink Sometimes you don't get closure You just have to move on First dates and birthday parties She almost wrote them down in Sharpies [Post-Chorus] But isn't that typical? Guess that's why she makes plans in pencil [Verse 2] So she welcomes a new year, welcomes her new self Welcomes her new life Thinking this sh's gonna get this right And the next one will be better than before And the next one will be better than before [Chorus] Now that it's over and those brown eyes are gone All the memories, tattooed in permanent ink Sometimes you don't get closure You just have to move on First dates and birthday parties She almost wrote them down in Sharpies [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] And now that it's over and yesterday's gone All the memories, tattooed in permanent ink Sometimes you don't get closure You just have to move on First dates and birthday parties Almost wrote them down in Sharpies [Post-Chorus] But isn't that typical? I guess that's why she makes plans in pencil
