Shut the door and silent I turn left
This year or where we were last year
Standing close and never near
Let's go out and raise some heck
Destroy our credit and write bad checks
I know that you ain't coming back
I thought that I might help you pack
I know that now
Tonight, back in waiting
I'm not hesitating to sit and take my time
Time to let you know what I've been missing
I need no permission to try and wrong these rights
Shut the door and silent I turn left
This curse and litter killed the kids
Find the sitter, stay in bed
Turn it all down to where we met
Recycle nothing and just forget
I know that you ain't coming back
I thought that I might help you pack
I know that now
Tonight, back in waiting
I'm not hesitating, I sit and take my time
Time to let you know what I've been missing
I need no permission to try and wrong these rights
I want to call you baby again
We'll paint this town red
We'll leave all your friends
A postcard I have yet to send
Everything's here wish you were fine
Everything's here wish you were mine
Everything's here wish you were
A postcard left at the last time
I know that you ain't coming back
I thought that I might help you pack
I know that you're gone for good now
I think it's good you're gone
I know that we're not getting back
I thought that I forgot the fact
I know this now
Tonight, back in waiting
I'm not hesitating, I sit and take my time
Time to let you know what I've been missing
I need no permission to try and wrong these rights
This year or where we were last year
Standing close and never near
Let's go out and raise some heck
Destroy our credit and write bad checks
I thought that I might help you pack
I know that now
I'm not hesitating to sit and take my time
Time to let you know what I've been missing
I need no permission to try and wrong these rights
This curse and litter killed the kids
Find the sitter, stay in bed
Turn it all down to where we met
Recycle nothing and just forget
I thought that I might help you pack
I know that now
I'm not hesitating, I sit and take my time
Time to let you know what I've been missing
I need no permission to try and wrong these rights
We'll paint this town red
We'll leave all your friends
A postcard I have yet to send
Everything's here wish you were fine
Everything's here wish you were mine
Everything's here wish you were
A postcard left at the last time
I thought that I might help you pack
I know that you're gone for good now
I think it's good you're gone
I thought that I forgot the fact
I know this now
I'm not hesitating, I sit and take my time
Time to let you know what I've been missing
I need no permission to try and wrong these rights
