Only a Weekend Though

The whistle blows
Got there in time but left my girl at home
It was only a weekend, though
Would she have gone with me, I'll never know

First night was careful greeting
Faint handshake lacking touch
Naively lost discretion
Of course, expecting much

Forgot I wouldn't do this
And probably so did you
Could see you were uncertain
With your sure-he'll-leave-me energy
Knowingly misleading
Mostly ourselves
Is it wrong to live
A life just for three days
Then letting go, then letting go

Flashing trees passing by
Just like the past few years without goodbye
It ended like we both knew it would
Painful to look back just to find something new

Woke up with you not sleeping
"I'll go" you thought I'd say
Eyes mirrored equal feelings
Let's both dream one more day

Forgot I wouldn't do this
And probably so did you
I could see you were uncertain
With your sure-he'll-leave-me energy
Knowingly misleading
Mostly ourselves
Is it wrong to live
A life just for three days?
Then letting go, then letting go

This morning, thought that if I'd left it'd be better
Could still forget her
No use in hoping that this story would end well
Acted out farewell
You lie there quietly as I get my shirt on
Ashamed of what you've done
Eyes meet and all I see is that next time you'll be scared to fall in love
