  • I wasn't worried about the small things
    Tried to bury what they might or could of meant
    And as far away as you could get, as distant as you've ever been
    You still love me

    The book of love is fiction
    Written by the loneliest to sing
    Thinking led to in the best
    Learning things they should forget
    Until the end

    So maybe we should plan then
    Of who would go, and who would stay, and when
    Until one of us can say it like it is
    You've already made your own bed

    Can you tell me what just happened
    Where's my girlfriend with her ancient pindred lime
    I pick you up on a Wednesday night
    Go out for our secret drive
    Like we were kids
    Will we be alright
    I have never doubted it before my friend
    Are they ever coming back again
    Those feelings that we started with
    I'll give it time

    And maybe we should plan then
    Of who will go, and who will stay, and when
    Until one of us can say it like it is
    You've already made your own bed

    I deserve the truth
    But I'm so afraid of what It'd do
    Finally seeing us for how it really is
    I've been alone just never noted

    Its time we had a plan then
    Of who will go, and who will stay, and when
    Until one of us can say it like it is
    You've already made your own bed

    I deserve the truth
    But I'm so afraid of what It'd do
    Finally seeing us for how it really is
    I've been alone just never noted Publisher: Kobalt Music Publishing Ltd.

  • Steve from UsaI saw Jim on a solo tour some time ago and he said that at an earlier show a couple came up to him all excited that he sang this, which was their wedding song. He said he didn't really know what to say to them because he had written this song about divorce.
