I just wanted to lie in my bed
Write about my broken hearts and move on
Last night I lit a candle
I bought from the Wal-mart five dollar rack
Do you remember wandering through their shelves
Late at night, with nowhere to go?
In that town the lights had finally gone dim
Just long enough to let the moon go down
I broke off those dark nights
I ended where the neon bar ends
And no longer will we watch the girls
Walk without a sense of where they've been
And I won't be broken
For the past I once I had
It took a few days
And everything was fine
You wrote letters
But you couldn't sign your name
Maybe it's time to move on again
Just maybe it's time to move on again
The dark truck cab rattles
On the rocks under my folks mailbox
They take it in, each day
And across this benchseat, you're so far away
The smell of grease & oil
Just can't take over your summer skin
And the brown warmth in July
You once held within
I still tell myself
I'm prettier than that girl you kissed
Just to get through my day
I guess I'm a hypocrite
And I won't be broken
For the past I once I had
It took a few days
And everything was fine
You wrote letters
But you couldn't sign your name
Maybe it's time to move on again
Just maybe it's time to move on again
