[Intro]
[Verse 1]
We sat out on the front steps and shared a cigarette.
That was Texas, â81, we were young but starting to forget.
We watched the neighbors go to bed.
They fed the dog and shut the lights, and we were on our own again.
[Verse 2]
We both knew that youâd be leaving before the kids woke up for school.
Youâd never been the kind for keeping, Iâd never been nobodyâs fool.
But as the sun began to rise.
We were running out of shadows to hide ourselves behind.
[Chorus]
Donât let go yet.
Would you love me one more time, before we raise the blinds and make the bed?
My little train wreck.
Your eyes are smiling but your cheeks are wet.
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
We fell asleep just like we used to, legs all tangled in the sheets.
I know you dreamed that bus to Houston, heard you talking in your sleep.
I would have held you all day long.
But when I opened up my eyes you were already gone.
[Chorus]
Donât let go yet.
Would you love me one more time, before we raise the blinds and make the bed?
My little train wreck.
Your eyes are smiling but your cheeks are wet.
