lyrics

He was still in college, still trying to find his way
And you were self-sufficient with too much to throw away
And I was treading water, doing everything I could
And none of this was bad, but we were up to no good

'Cause you wrote him a note, he told you not to ask
And I stood back and watched; didn't dare to make a pass
Then he was out of town and you were on the phone
I kept showing up—I couldn't stand to be alone

Looking back it's hard to say exactly what went wrong
Like someone wrote the story and we all just played along
And I'd like to point my finger now that all of this is through
But I know it wasn't me, it wasn't him, it wasn't you

'Cause I messed up the house and he gave you a call
And you just sat there shaking and you told me about it all
Then he rearranged his plans while I tore out my hair
You took off for the weekend; I pretended not to care

Time seems to fly when you're in up to your neck
And you're trying to be friendly and politically correct
But there's no easy way when you're all tied up in knots
And no one can make up their minds and everyone gets caught

"Cause he went on the road and you got on the ball
And I moved to an apartment with nothing on the walls
Then he wrote you a note, you told him not to ask
And I stood back and watched, 'cause this, too, must pass
