Plans In Pencil

(album: Songs From Nashville - 2020)

She was only 22
She left a note laced in her perfume
It was supposed to say "I love you"
But a goodbye would have to do

No it's not supposed to be this way
After hours of conversation you were supposed to stay
But isn't that typical
And that's why she makes plans in pencil

And now that it's over
And those brown eyes are gone
Old memories tattooed in permanent ink
Sometimes you don't get closure
You just have to move on
First dates and birthday parties
She almost wrote it down in sharpie
But isn't that typical
Guess that's why she made plans in pencil

So she welcomes a new year, welcomes a new self
Welcomes a new life
Thinking this time she's gonna get it right
And the next one will be better than before
And the next one will be better than before

And now that it's over
And those brown eyes are gone
Old memories tattooed in permanent ink
Sometimes you don't get closure
You just have to move on
First dates and birthday parties
She almost wrote it down in sharpie
But isn't that typical
Guess that's why she made plans in pencil

And now it's over
And yesterday's gone
Old memories tattooed in permanent ink
Sometimes you don't get closure
You just have to move on
First dates and birthday parties
Almost wrote it down in sharpie
But isn't that typical
I guess that's why she made plans in pencil
