Their Better Way  - ListenHere      

He sits all alone except for the drink 

and the words he remembers, the good ones that make 

all the memories last and they last much too long 

in the spring, after hours, and the band has gone home.

I sit alongside him, not face to face, 

men often do this to help face the world

together, they're stronger, together alone.

I buy him a beer 'cause I've been there before.

Sometimes we still want to see them together,

something that's no longer something today.

Sometimes it's time we forget what we say

'cause it's time 

they went their better way.

She walks in the doorway, an entrance familiar

to both of them smiling "Good morning to you."

But this time is different, beneath the nice gesture,

seems like she whispered "What's happened to you?"

"To me? Are you crazy, are you out of your lost mind?"

He sits down and wonders just how he got there

In between what he doesn't understand

and what sometimes seems all too often too clear

Sometimes we still want to see them together,

something that's no longer something today.

Sometimes it's time we forget what we say

'cause it's time 

they went their better way.

One day she's all alone traveling by cell phone,

she answers in all of the strangest locals.

A bookstore, a theater, sometimes a bathroom stall;

she needs just a little more time to herself.

And he finds the movie seats don't fit the same alone,

popcorn in cardboard has lost its appeal,

the big screen seems smaller, the kisses have disappeared,

the lights just came up, and he barely sat down.

Sometimes we still want to see them together,

something that's no longer something today.

Sometimes it's time we forget what we say

'cause it's time 

they went their better way.
