There's No 'I' in a Modern Country Cover Band

Can I see you're torn between

Continually crying

And some sense of normalcy

Everyone claps from the sidelines, but me

For I am overjoyed

Often compelled to avoid

To scrutinize the frame

And turn it into a love song again

There's nothing to forgive

So let safety win

Took the time, thought a lot

It's just one more sad ride back to the station with him

Then let it pass away

Don't look back, don't say

You've arrived, or goodnight

Or at least don't start it

Don't say anything

Like a sudden fall

How you both kept it cool, played it off

After a year

Spent caving in, you'll be alright

Wait for me, wait for me, no

The horns drown it out

I've learned to be an anchor

And let it ride

See you on the Jersey side

Was it all you missed?

Louder still

Departures, wearing thin

In a kinder home

You fought like hell
