The Picture

(album: Blue Jeans - 2020)

It was Ashley's twenty-ninth birthday
And two-for-ones on Thursday
I didn't even feel like going
I just felt like I should show up there

Hated every song coming out of that jukebox
Took half an hour to get a drink
And when I finally got a cold one
Someone tapped me on the shoulder, and said
"Alright, everybody get together"

I wasn't even that drunk
I wasn't really having that much fun
Somebody said, "Smile", and that's just what you do
I had my arm around her
But I was thinking 'bout you
Just because you saw it
Don't mean you've got the picture

You never liked her much, I know
I remember us fighting 'bout an inside joke
Thought you were being crazy
But she's been showing up a lot lately
And I hate thinking 'bout what she's probably thinking

I wasn't even that drunk
I wasn't really having that much fun
Somebody said, "Smile", and that's just what you do
I had my arm around her
But I was thinking 'bout you
Just because you saw it
Don't mean you've got the picture

I didn't mean to rub it in
But I'd be lying if I didn't say
It was nice to make somebody laugh again
I just hate that you saw it

I wasn't even that drunk
I wasn't really having that much fun
Somebody said, "Smile", and that's been hard to do
Had my arm around her
But I wish it was you
Just because you saw it
Don't mean you've got the picture
Yeah, just because you saw it
Really doesn't mean you've got the picture
