lyrics

I remember those first few dates and
How we watched Desperate Housewives
On your couch and made out
At work I saw you from afar
You used to call me up and it was clear
You didn’t have a reason
You just wanted to talk
Take a walk, get a beer

My godmother said we were star crossed lovers
It was my first time being loved so fully
And I didn’t know how rare it was

We used to go to Tommy’s Joynt
Get hot turkey plates and Irish coffees
Cook hamburgers in your backyard
You were so impressed with my salad dressing
You got my dad a TV stand
Cause the one he had was wobbly
He was so touched by that gesture and
Mentioned it for many years

You loved Jerzy Kosinski and thought
Dwight Yoakam was sexy
Didn’t garden much but what you had
You gave to me
Wrapped inside a ring box with a card on which
You poured your heart out
A small strawberry
The only one you grew
I searched for versions of you
Tried to cut and paste

You were 9 years older
I wasn’t ready for what you were
Hoping I would have a change of heart
I probably would have
But I had to scratch that itch
I wanted other chapters
Saw myself as someone else
You were the one I couldn’t shake
I replayed every smile
And when I sing the song Good Things
I think of you

My godmother said we were star crossed lovers
It was my first time being loved so fully
And I didn’t know how rare it was
