about

Written in the spring of 2010 in the Atwood neighborhood of Madison, Wisconsin.

lyrics

Well these days are going fast,
and living hard is going out of style.
Well I know that you probably aren't missin' me, honey,
but me, I can't say the same of you.

I don't care where you've been,
or how long you'll stay away.
Well I know we are taught to be unhappy,
just don't take that lesson too far.

Chorus:
I was honest, I was honest,
I was honest all my days.
Honest and that's all that I can say.

When you stayed over and ran out early,
I just chalked it up to one night and laughed.
Well maybe you didn't mean to slip out in the morning,
you just didn't want to wake me.

(chorus)

Bridge:
When the nights have all grown too long,
and the notes have drifted away,
well you've got me stuck like a fork in a socket,
holding on 'cause I can't let go if I wanted.

And now I'm a-headed out of town,
just when you're supposed to be back.
I'm sorry that I'll be missin' you, honey,
I just trust that I'll see you down the line.

(chorus)x2
