[Intro:] She shrugged her shoulders and with a sigh Said "we gave it the old college try But sometimes everyone everywhere Has got to say goodbye." [Verse 1:] She shrugged her shoulders and with a sigh Said "we gave it the old college try" Said "there's nothing left to say" But who needs college anyway. [Chorus:] So while you're sipping your espresso I'll be trying hard to let go Although you've been there all along I'm white knuckled on you photograph Wounds bleeding from the aftermath Finding somewhere to belong [Verse 2:] I promised to catch you if you fell But the pavement's embrace seemed just as well And though I'm not asking for too much And your skins cold to the touch I'd rather die cold than lie freezing in your arms [Chorus 2x]
