My evening began in search of perfection, I only found you after a midnight rejection Everything that follows is my confession, you’re the penance that I have to pay She came to me, she looked me up, at the edge of the field, where we parked the truck We ran through the bases, and then we made love on the mound   Why…are you always there Why…do you always care You’re the one who shoulda given up on me, a long time ago For reasons you know For reasons you know…   She was lying at home, lying alone, tryin to pick up the pieces of a life she had known She knew it couldn’t stay, she threw it all away when she answered the phone Well I said hello, baby, how have you been, She said cut to the chase, just tell me where and when I said I’ll be there in ten, and I don’t care where we go, I just don’t wanna be alone   Cry, and tell me we’re wrong Lie, don’t just play along You’re the one who shoulda given up on me, a long time ago For Reasons You know For Reasons You know   <solo break>   Cry, and tell me we’re wrong Lie, don’t just play along You’re the one who shoulda given up on me, a long time ago For reasons you know For reasons you know…   Why…are you always there Why…do you always care You’re the one who shoulda given up on me, a long time ago For reasons you know For reasons you know…   Lucas outro
