'tis the damn season
[00:00.20] •••
[00:13.74] If I wanted to know
[00:15.46] Who you were hanging with
[00:17.49] While I was gone, I would've asked you
[00:20.22] It's the kind of cold
[00:21.99] Fogs up windshield glass
[00:24.21] But I felt it when I passed you
[00:26.97] There's an ache in you
[00:28.72] Put there by the ache in me
[00:33.33] But if it's all the same to you
[00:35.67] It's the same to me
[00:38.25] So we could call it even
[00:40.01] You could call me "babe" for the weekend
[00:43.51] 'Tis the damn season
[00:45.00] Write this down
[00:46.67] I'm staying at my parents' house
[00:48.86] And the road not taken looks real good now
[00:52.23] And it always leads to you and my hometown
[00:59.60] I parked my car
[01:01.58] Right between the Methodist and the school that used to be ours
[01:06.20] The holidays linger like bad perfume
[01:10.30] You can run but only so far
[01:12.92] I escaped it too
[01:14.42] Remember how you watched me leave
[01:19.52] But if it's okay with you
[01:21.78] It's okay with me
[01:24.61] We could call it even
[01:26.27] You could call me "babe" for the weekend
[01:29.35] 'Tis the damn season
[01:31.12] Write this down
[01:32.64] I'm staying at my parents' house
[01:34.72] And the road not taken looks real good now
[01:38.82] Time flies
[01:40.07] Messy as the mud on your truck tires
[01:42.57] Now I'm missing your smile, hear me out
[01:45.82] We could just ride around
[01:48.07] And the road not taken looks real good now
[01:51.60] And it always leads to you and my hometown
[01:58.69] Sleep in half the day
[02:01.94] Just for old times' sake
[02:05.17] I won't ask you to wait
[02:07.67] If you don't ask me to stay
[02:10.44] So I'll go back to LA
[02:12.69] And the so-called friends who'll write books about me if I ever make it
[02:17.94] And wonder about the only soul who can tell which smiles I'm faking
[02:24.30] And the heart I know I'm breaking is my own
[02:30.92] To leave the warmest bed I've ever known
[02:37.05] We could call it even
[02:43.59] Even though I'm leaving
[02:49.54] And I'll be yours for the weekend
[02:53.40] 'Tis the damn season
[02:56.65] We could call it even
[02:58.15] You could call me "babe" for the weekend
[03:01.53] 'Tis the damn season
[03:03.15] Write this down
[03:04.65] I'm staying at my parents' house
[03:06.89] And the road not taken looks real good now
[03:10.93] Time flies
[03:12.17] Messy as the mud on your truck tires
[03:14.67] Now I'm missing your smile, hear me out
[03:18.04] We could just ride around
[03:20.17] And the road not taken looks real good now
[03:23.66] And it always leads to you and my hometown
[03:30.25] It always leads to you and my hometown
