All Lined Up

She stopped by the counter that day
She laughed about the butcher's big Chevrolet
She filed with her cart down the aisle
She hid her food and
She packed up her smile

I'm glad it all lined up
I'm glad it all lined up

We split when she got cool
She got a degree, I dropped out of school
We used to walk those halls
We'd claw for our freedom and
Break out in brawls

I'm glad it all lined up
I'm glad it all lined up

I wanted to tell her why
My heartbeat mattered, how I'd never lie
The world inside me beamed
But the outside sagged and
That's just how I seemed

I'm glad it all lined up
I'm glad it all lined up

I bent the silence with a joke
My muscles were shaking, my tongue nearly spoke
I ran to her parking space
Just to see her hop into that big Chevrolet

I'm glad it all lined up
I'm glad it all lined up

I smashed the counter that day
I cried for the silence it made me say
I filed her memories away
I hid my love and
I packed for the train

I'm glad it all lined up
I'm glad it all lined up
