| Do you ever think of me up there
 | 
| When you’re God knows where
 | 
| With your eyes closed in front of the crowd?
 | 
| Would you pull me up on stage if I
 | 
| Came to your show tonight?
 | 
| Would you still get me high backstage?
 | 
| Do I remember summer rain
 | 
| That sweet metallic taste
 | 
| The chemicals that made us stay awake?
 | 
| I didn’t really get it then
 | 
| But it struck my mind the other day:
 | 
| I think you’re right about «the leaving» part
 | 
| But you’re wrong about «the running away»
 | 
| I’m still working on the could-have-beens
 | 
| Of you and I, I mean
 | 
| What if Patricia hadn’t chosen that night?
 | 
| You told me once that if we ran away
 | 
| And never spoke her name
 | 
| Then the world would fall back into place
 | 
| But I rely on muscle memory
 | 
| Onstage wine and irony
 | 
| If you somehow got the best of me
 | 
| Put it out there in when my recollection’s slow
 | 
| I’m in the corner by the bar, tonight
 | 
| You played a song of mine
 | 
| With contorted chords and words shuffled around me
 | 
| I don’t mind you changing it, rearranging it
 | 
| Kinda like the way you’re slowing it down
 | 
| Your introduction it was eloquent
 | 
| But you didn’t write that song on the road
 | 
| Sure, I agree with the sentiment
 | 
| I’ll be waiting where the flightcases load
 | 
| She lived right across the street from us
 | 
| And her mum still wakes up insane
 | 
| Just to ask: will she back again?
 | 
| Now, what am I supposed to say?
 | 
| So we’ll be dining with the could-have-beens
 | 
| You and I, I mean
 | 
| And though our words need time to unfold
 | 
| There are moments worth remembering
 | 
| I hope you’re good at it
 | 
| 'Cause there is so much I wish I didn’t know
 | 
| And that’s why you’re not coming back
 | 
| And that’s why I can never leave
 | 
| But Patricia would have that loved that song
 | 
| Just the way you’re playing it to me |
