You've got lunch with your sister tomorrow So we can't be up late You don't mind if I sleep in But then I've gotta pack my things So I stacked a Bukowski novel on a Blacklisted LP And this time what it looked like was just what it proved to be You said you needed a stiff drink to take your mind off things
Hey Jess, I woke up older Carrying two years in the bags under my eyes Hey Jess, I watched you wake up and get dressed You left the room receded like my hairline
I've been avoiding Rittenhouse like the plague Because I just can't handle seeing you today You made this house into a home Now, I'm a stranger on my street And as I turned to leave I caught myself in the mirror to see I aged a year this week I left a note up on your bed that said Hey, thanks again for everything you did
Hey Jess, I woke up older Carrying two years in the bags under my eyes Hey Jess, I watched you wake up and get dressed You left the room receded like my hairline
When John introduced 'Woke Up New' in St. Augustine I knew I wasn't alone When I woke up here without you There was nothing to do but pack up and go home
Hey Jess, I woke up older Carrying two years in the bags under my eyes Hey Jess, I woke up older Carrying two years in the bags under my eyes Hey Jess, I watched you wake up and get dressed You left the room receded like my hairline
