I could tell the truth, or I could tell a lie Or say the right thing at the right time We started out writing good letters But then for me in Memphis recording Yours were scented with Coco number 5 We rushed in yelling things I could tell the truth, or I could tell a lie Or say the right thing at the right time Like I miss you so much in person and up close When we fucked and we fought Away from each other we could manage to see Just what it was that we got rid of In absentia we were better off Finding new places to stay Finding new signs of reservations For the wishes we share I could tell the truth, or I could tell a lie Or say the right thing at the right time
