Some Place Else to Be

She said now you keep all the money honey, but she meant it as a joke,

Cause after 15 years of marriage one thing that never changed was being broke.

But he just looked her in the eyes as if he didn’t understand the words she spoke.

He said I’m gettin’ tired of feelin’ sorry for every little thing I do and say,

While the space between us opens up and widens like a canyon everyday,

And there’ve been times I’ve looked into your eyes and seen the want to walk away.

As she shot him one parting glance colder than Alaska in December

He said, “Now don’t you remember?”

There was a way that you use to look at me,

As if I knew the answers and as if I held the key,

These days it seems like all you’re really looking for is some place else to be.

She said, “I don’t suppose it matters now, but in my way I love you still.

But I don’t want to be your lover anymore and I don’t think I ever will,

And I can’t wait around for falling back in love cause I don’t have that time to kill.”

When she looked over her shoulder one last time as she began to walk away,

She heard him say,

There was a way that you use to look at me,

As if I knew the answers and as if I held the key,

These days it seems like all you’re really looking for is some place else to be.

Yeah these days it seems like all you’re really looking for is some place else to be.
