Lillian
Lillian, the state you're in ain't funny
I wish I could travel time and meet you in my late twenties
And maybe then I'd be a bit more cool
Summertime, on Whidbey Island's calling
Leave you behind, and drink my wine and make friends with the dolphins
And maybe then confide in them about you
And how I didn't mean to lose you
What the hell can I do to stop falling apart
And fall back in your arms?
And what the hell can I say?
You've broken my door, it won't shut anymore
Lillian, my fickle friend, it's been ugly
The month of May, I've spent my days pretending I could ever be somebody
Who eases pain with strangers in the blue
They call it mundane but they don't know about you
Do they now?
I'm fa-fa falling
And I've cleaned the mess you've made me
And pawned your silver earrings
But you don't know how it hurt me darling
What the hell can I do to stop falling apart
And fall back in your arms?
Oh, what the hell can I say
You've broken my door
Oh, Lily I'm sure
I'm sure you know, in case you don't, just listen
If my new boy's the King of Troy I'd still pack up and leave him
If you showed up and told me, told me to
If you showed up, said darling I've been a fool
And "I didn't mean to lose you"
I wish I could travel time and meet you in my late twenties
And maybe then I'd be a bit more cool
Summertime, on Whidbey Island's calling
Leave you behind, and drink my wine and make friends with the dolphins
And maybe then confide in them about you
And how I didn't mean to lose you
What the hell can I do to stop falling apart
And fall back in your arms?
And what the hell can I say?
You've broken my door, it won't shut anymore
Lillian, my fickle friend, it's been ugly
The month of May, I've spent my days pretending I could ever be somebody
Who eases pain with strangers in the blue
They call it mundane but they don't know about you
Do they now?
I'm fa-fa falling
And I've cleaned the mess you've made me
And pawned your silver earrings
But you don't know how it hurt me darling
What the hell can I do to stop falling apart
And fall back in your arms?
Oh, what the hell can I say
You've broken my door
Oh, Lily I'm sure
I'm sure you know, in case you don't, just listen
If my new boy's the King of Troy I'd still pack up and leave him
If you showed up and told me, told me to
If you showed up, said darling I've been a fool
And "I didn't mean to lose you"
