Summer of 2001, June tenth
We parked the car and slept under a bridge
I'd had it bad for you for months to no effect
And then you invited me on this trip
It was hot as s*** in the car
Who'd remembered the drive to New York was so far
Oh I traced the tattoos on my wrists
And then you pressed your face against my face
And we kissed
Too much time spent in Chapel Hill those years
Cuz when that town starts talking
It's a whisper, but it's all you hear
She's a queer and he's a junkie with a thirst
I can hear them betting horses
On which one of us is gonna break first
We meant to prove them wrong, we did
But it's hard to alter who you are
You were getting strung out every day
And I was f****** every girl who looked my way
We had to give it a shot, I kept thinking
Hey, every love hits a rough spot
Who was I kidding, so we broke up
And so far we show no signs of f****** that up
Hey, what you don't understand
Is I got another ex-lover
But I also got a new best friend
It hurts like hell to go to sleep at night
But I know that in the morning
You will call me, tell me we'll be alright
Yeah, we're gonna be alright
