Not Mine To Begin With

(альбом: Cutting Room Floor - 2022)

Don't you have some feelings or a chill running through your bones?
Are there any tears for me when you press your eyelids closed?
Is there a whisper in your ear when you snap your coat?
You're not mine to begin with
You've got somewhere to go

Maybe we will meet again when the morning meets the shiver
We could go down to the Congress Bridge, watch it fall into the river
Whichever path you take, take your sorrow with your laughter
You're not mine to begin with
You're not mine to go after

Who's gonna bring you chocolate, who's gonna fill your cup?
You've run out of reasons, and your boyfriends are all dried up

Someday we'll be looking back from places we've never been
Maybe send you a postcard when I cross through Lexington
I'm done trying to know you, and what you say that you're all about
You're not mine to begin with
You're not mine to figure out
When the night starts wandering, and you're hiding down in your scarf
You're not mine to begin with
Why does goodbye feel so hard
You're not mine to begin with
It was goodbye from the start
