[Verse]

Did you ever make it out to New York City?

Taking pictures on the coastline, at high tide, thinking of me?

Feel like a big ol’ 49er out in the country

Shewing the horse flies, up drinking every night, sifting memories

[Pre]

Well, I lost a gamble

I lost my friends

Pony up my love

Or love me again

Tell me the issues

I want amends

I’ll always love you

But you knew that

[Chorus]

Is that what you do when you love someone?

Brush it off like soot, burn it to ashes, see if it hurts

Is that what you do when you try to move on?

Pretеnd that you’re over it, sex for thе hell of it, muddy the dirt

It was supposed to end

With a big backyard and a couple of kids

It was supposed to end with a graveyard picked, not like this

[Verse]

Do you Remember what I told you last october?

That we were changing, scared I can’t save it, and I gave you my word

Well I remember the night you came back crying

Worried bout the dog, our life, my mind, you couldn’t fight it

[Chorus]

Is that what you do when you love someone?

Brush it off like soot cause you burned it to ashes to see if it hurt

Is that what you do when you try to move on?

Pretend that you’re over it, sex for the hell of it, muddy the dirt

It was supposed to end

With a big backyard and a couple of kids

It was supposed to end with a graveyard picked, not like this
