Markin' Up the Score
Believe me I never meant it to end this way
We swore we'd be together till we were old and gray
If I'd know where we were headed
I would have dreaded leaving you by the shore
So place one more on the board and keep markin' up the score
Well my train is pulling out west
Its whistle blows loud and free
There's still one more test
Tell me should I stay or leave
Even when we were together we couldn't always agree
I left you a note on your door to keep markin' up the score
Samantha was out hooking last night
Near the Blue Bird Cafe
She tried to sit with me but I wasn't looking for
That kind of company
Lovers, losers and dancers are out on the floor
That's where I last saw you markin' up the score
Dylan came in last night
Upset about something but I couldn't tell
He was on the phone with her
When it all went to hell
I was too busy burning
One of you pages that read
If you don't believe there's a Christ
There's no paradise
We're made in God's image
But there's more than what glass reflects
I never knew you to be
One so complex
Words can sting and make you sore
And so can markin' up the score
Well I've watched you slowly disappear
To the back rooms of my mind
Where unkept dreams and memories end up
You know the kind
They distract you and bother you
Randomly sometimes
They find you when you're asleep at night
Or when things feel they're most right
Pain can be such a chore but so can markin' up the score
Emeline wanted to marry me
But I had to be on my way
I felt the passing of time
Its wheels can turn on a dime
My mind rolls back to 08'
Where I saw a girl so kind
Helping a drifter off the street
A girl I'd like to meet
But small talk can be such a bore and so can markin' up the score
So go on honey make your move
Life is just a game
And if we ever meet again
I hope we're not the same
Forget my name and I'll forget yours
Time heals wounds but still leaves scars
Our name's weren't written in the stars
Or in the dealing of the cards
So fold your hands and pray for me
It's you I'm praying for
I'm praying we never stop markin' up the score
We swore we'd be together till we were old and gray
If I'd know where we were headed
I would have dreaded leaving you by the shore
So place one more on the board and keep markin' up the score
Well my train is pulling out west
Its whistle blows loud and free
There's still one more test
Tell me should I stay or leave
Even when we were together we couldn't always agree
I left you a note on your door to keep markin' up the score
