A Way Out or In

Can you hear 

My dear 

I said here's a beer

Wow it's been like a year

Since you sat here with a tear 

Life was so unclear

We were so delicate like a chandelier 

We were so in love it was so sincere 

Look at us now it's been a Goodyear 

I have a career 

And you just reappeared 

Where have you been?

Well I've been on a spin 

Where I drank a lot of gin 

It really was quite a sin 

But really it was a win

I've seen Berlin 

And have touched sharkskin 

Even herd the most beautiful violin 

But something called me to turn in 

What do you mean?

You've gone from a basic teen 

To now a total queen

You've been all over the scene

You flew away at eighteen 

What's brought you back Christine?

In all honesty this town.

I left with a frown 

With my facedown 

I was so cutdown

I felt like a letdown 

I was having a real meltdown 

I felt like a clown

I'm here to say I'm sorry.

There's nothing to apologize for 

Look I was really a closed door 

You deserved more

Most of the time we swore

I would call you a whore

How could I say that to someone I'm supposed to adore?

I gave you a heartsore 

You had every right to be unsure

It doesn't take back the fact I left when you needed me the most.

I left faster than a ghost 

I went to the coast 

Where I overdosed

And kept raising a toast 

Each night to the boy who I lost

You're right with that I hated you for a whole month after you left.

Things were never really addressed,

I just sat and guessed

How I might had confessed

I wanted you undressed 

And have you laying on my chest.

If you had asked me to stay I would

But I also wasn't ready for some sort of wifehood

But at the same time I thought you were to good

If I could 

I wouldn't have gone to Hollywood 

I would have stayed here in Glenwood 

Please don't talk like that 

When you left you spat

Right in my face as you scat

Really you were such a brat

You acted like I was a rat

Don't you dare 

After my accident all you could do was stare

Like if you touched me I would have ended up in a wheelchair 

That was so unfair

Like you said we were going nowhere

It was like I was a welfare

And when I came home late with shorthair

You threw glassware 

Do you know how that felt Paul?

What was I supposed to think? 

Just not even blink

When you walked in with a drink 

You're hair cut short and pink

Like really Christine

That wasn't my kink

I never asked you to take me in 

Yeah I was to thin

And yes I should have told you where I had been

And not just sat there with a grin

Showing you the ink on my skin

I was scared out of my mind 

I had been blind 

I didn't want to see you redefined

And enshrined 

Being predefined 

As something that you weren't 

You don't get to make that choice 

I have my own voice

Which with you I couldn't rejoice 

As if you became my revoice 

I appreciate everything you did for me but this was stupid coming back.

Hey don't you dare walk away from me

You're like the sea 

Always trying to be set free

You've always held the key 

Yet when someone tells you some truth you flee! 

But I still love you unconditionally.

You don't mean that.

I thought you were the one 

Oh but hun 

I've loved you a ton

We had so much fun 

But we are so done

One second don't walk away just yet

Please don't fret 

But take my hand one last time and reset

Look at me as if I were the sunset

Here we are present

Just like the first time that we met 

Please don't ever forget

Just because you're upset

Now you can leave and never come back or you can sit here a little longer and smoke a cigarette.

Do you still smoke Lucky Strike?

Only on special occasions if you dare to join?
