A Thing or Two

When it’s cold outside
I lie awake and imagine
What you’re thinking about
Right this minute, as you’re
Curled up around someone
Else, safe and warm together

Regret a thing or two
I’m there and then I’m gone
Survive a thing or two
I can and then I can’t

It’s raining now, so I look
Through my boxes until I find
Your picture that I kept, listen
To the raindrops fall as my
Fingers gently trace the lines
Of your smile and your eyes

Regret a thing or two
I’m there and then I’m gone
Survive a thing or two
I can and then I can’t

Remember how close we
Used to be, how many times
We laughed and cried together
The two of us caught up in one
Another, but now you’ve left me
Wrapped around someone new

Regret a thing or two
I’m there and then I’m gone
Survive a thing or two
I can and then I can’t

Promise me one thing, that
If all of your dreams don’t
Work out that you’ll pick
Up the phone and call me
Let me hear your voice
one more time, to feel you near

Regret a thing or two
I’m there and then I’m gone
Survive a thing or two
I can and then I can’t

Regret a thing or two

I’m there and then I’m gone
Survive a thing or two
I can and then I can’t
