Mountain With A View

(album: Rolling Up The Welcome Mat (For Good) - 2023)

It's 7 a.m. and I'm on a mountain with a view
I'm the only one, alone, at a table meant for two
Big Sur looks beautiful this morning
And I should be missing you, I should be missing you

You're across the pond at a show, I think, in Amsterdam
And the pictures look pretty, at least they do on your Instagram
We say good morning, then goodnight
I wonder if you even know where I am, where I am

I'm wearing the ring still, but I think I'm lying
Sometimes you forget yours, I think we're done trying
I realize you loved me much more at twenty-three
I think that this is when it's over for me

I can't believe I'm a few months out from twenty-nine
I can't handle another year of you and I just being fine
I've shared all my secrets, and I've paid for all my crimes
And our stars ain't falling back in line

I'm wearing the ring still, but I think I'm lying
Sometimes you forget yours, I think we're done trying
I realize you loved me much more at twenty-three
I think that this is when it's over for me

I think that this is when I cut the ties
I think that is when I set myself free
One day you'll ask, "When was it over for you?"

I'm taking the ring off, I'm finally crying
Don't try to find yours, no reason to fight it
You'll say I'm crazy for being the one to leave

Scream I'm just like my parents and giving up easy
But you never took that last flight to see me
Looks like our ending ain't ending happily
I think that this is when it's over for me
Me, me
I think that this is when it's over for me
Me, me, uh

It's 7 a.m. and I'm on a mountain with a view
I'm the only one, alone, at a table meant for two
