Plans In Pencil

She was only 22
She left a note laced in her perfume
It was supposed to say I love you
But a goodbye would have to do

I know it's not supposed to be this way
After hours of conversation he was supposed to stay
But isn't that typical
And that's why she makes plans in pencil

Now that it's over and those brown eyes are gone
All the memories, tattoed in permanent ink
Sometimes you don't get closure
You just have to move on
First dates and birthday parties
She almost wrote them down in sharpies

But isn't that typical
Guess that's why she makes plans in pencil

So she welcomes her new here
Welcomes her new self
Welcomes her new life
Thinking this the she is goin' get this right
And the next one will be better than before
And the next one will be better than before

Now that it's over and those brown eyes are gone
All the memories, tattoed in permanent ink
Sometimes you don't get closure
You just have to move on
First dates and birthday parties
She almost wrote them down in sharpies

And now that is over
And yesterday's gone
All the memories, tattoed in permanent ink
Sometimes you don't get closure
You just have to move on
First dates and birthday parties
Almost wrote them down in sharpies

But isn't that typical
I guess that's why she makes plans in pencil
