20/20 Hindsight

If you need a spot to sleep,
then you can crash right on the couch.
We can each have half a blanket,
and I'll turn all the lights out.
It's been quiet here, and lonely
since the geese all headed south,
And now what used to be a lake
is just another piece of ground.

There's an open mic on Tuesdays
at a café down the street.
I got a friend who plays the jambe,
he can lay us down a beat.
I don't mind singin' harmony,
so you can take the lead,
But what sounds awesome in your basement
never comes out quite on key.

I heard Jason knows a party
where we can meet up with Brett.
I'm not sure what they're drinkin',
but I'll take what I can get.
I'll buy us all the last round --
what's a little bit more debt?
But what seems so right in the twilight
is the morning's harsh regret.

I know you long for me to write to you,
but I don't have the strength.
I just keep starin' out my window
tryin' not to speak your name.
I'm a foolish man who's always thought
that he could dodge the rain,
And what once was so damn obvious
now borders on insane.

Yeah, what once was picture perfect
now grows dusty in the frame.
