just across the bar
My seats been Btaken by some sunglasses
asking 'bout a scar
and I Eknow I gave it to you months ago
I know you're trying to forget
but beC#mtween the drinks and subtle things
the holes in my apologies
you know I'm tArying hard to take it bBack
So if by the C#mtime the bar clBoses
and you Bfeel like Efalling Adown
I'll Acarry you Bhome tEonight

but between the drinks and subtle things

the holes in my apologies
