Jer Coons


When I finally heard the news, my dear,
it wasn't from your mouth.
He just looked me in the eye,
and then he let the words spill out.

Darling, I'm so happy
you've been waiting for so long
to finally find the guy to hold that has more write than wrong.

And, what's this, is it actually for real?
I guess at least is good to know
you have a heart to steal.
I held it for a while, tell me that's not true.
My dear, i's clear these last two years have been a gift to you.

So picture this when you go to kiss
I hope that every time you'll think of me.
And I'm gonna let it get to me.

I know the scars on you legs
I've seen them in my head
like a map up to you when I'm climbing into bed.
And I don't think that it's fair that he would lie with you there
and use my directions to get right there next to you.

Forget the who, the what, the when
the question here is why.
You set the bar so high and then you dropped it for this guy.
You're into insincerity, it's scary that I wonder
perheaps the bas was raised so high that he just walked right under.

And what's this, is it actually for real?
Why don't you pick an extra day
and call and ask her how she feels?
Suppose you could just wait a month, you'll find out for yourself.
The worst part is the truth, you're just like everybody else.

So picture this when you go to kiss,
I hope that every time you'll think of me.
You're then and now they will all run out.
I know he can't compare to what I used to be.
And I'm gonna let it get to me.

I know the scars on your legs,
I've seen them in my head like a map up to you
when I'm climbing into bed.
And I don't think that it's fair that he would lie with you there
and use my directions to get right there next to you.

Do you remember when we held each other on the twenty-third?
And as silent as your heartbeat was the only thing I heard.
Does he know you're dogs' names?
Or the fact that he can't claim

He knows the scars on your legs
still see them in my head like a map up to you
when we climb into bed.
And I don't think that it's fair  that I can't lie with you there
and use my directions to
get right there next to you.
On your legs, I've seen them in my head
like a map up to you when I'm climbing into bed.
And I don't think that it's fair that he would lie with you there and use
my directions to get right there next to you.
