about

Lex recounts three segments of a relationship (beginning, middle, end) in this bittersweet folk-rock ballad.

lyrics

Let me know when you get to the gate
give me a call if you find you're running late so that I know
you're okay
don't you know you can come by anytime
have a couple drinks and talk deep into the night
if you ever need to get away
you're always welcome at my place.

I'm getting pretty cozy in our little life
play fighting on the couch and getting fucked up every night
it's not much but it makes the day alright
when it ends with you
I'll miss all the trouble that we tend to get in,
you know I love your best friends like they're my own kin
even if they don't care too much for me
or if they don't approve
that's just what I'll do

throw me in the pool while I'm in my kimono
one last time if you've gotta go
if you don't I promise I'll never
ask you for another ride
I know I'm not really ready for this to end so
before we can go back to being just friends
I may need a little bit of time
but please don't forget to write.
