(Jacob Brackman/Fred Gardner)

I said that I felt jailed up
As if our doors were nailed up
I said I needed separate places
Partiesroom to move around in.
I said I needed my fling
Had to get out and do some other thing.
It took me months to calculate
That I had nothing left without you-

(Chorus)
Danmy fling is all flung out
Now I ve got to fall back on dreams

I thought I d try and write you
I thought I d try and phone you
I thought I d try to tell you
That I smell your hair still on my pillow
But you d just mile to please me
You d shake your headyou d tease me -
Remind me it was I who first claimed
That we both required freedom

(Chorus)

I d dream up schemes to meet you
I d nonchalantly greet you
I d ask you up for coffee
Anytime you had an hour open.
You say you like my hair long
You ask me if I ve written any new songs
You d laughyou d turn and cross the street
And leave me dizzy with your laughter -

(Chorus)

I hear you re leaving this town
You and some girl gonna travel around
You bought a car with foldback seats
you ll camp out by the lakes and forests.
I lie alone in our old bed
Your laughter it s echoin inside my head.
I close my eyesI smell your hair
It s like I haven t slept in years -

(Chorus)
