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 a guy to hold that has more right than wrong
And, uh, what's this is it actually for real
I guess at least it's good to know you have a heart to steal
I held it for a while, tell me that's not true
my dear it'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 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
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
perhaps the bar 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 everytime you'll think of me
your 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 heart beat it was the only thing I heard
Does he know your 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
