Long Story Short

I'm bound for the place
That Iused to dream of
My yellow old shoes
Will point to the goal

A blow in the wind
Puts a smile on her face
Hand this letter to the girl
To the girl in the blue

“I never should've loved you but I want you to know
Long story short, I'm happy for you
There'll always be a bridge that takes you straight to my soul
Long story short, I will be waiting for you”

On Friday nights
We would stay up all night
Playing those 7 dollar bets
And I would lose all my pay

This old red ship
Sinking into the sea
By the time you read this through
I'll be gone from you

I never should've loved you but I want you to know
Long story short, I'm happy for you
There'll always be a bridge that takes you straight to my soul
Long story short, I will be waiting for you

I'm calling on you
Avoiding the truth

If you ever need a shoulder then just give me a call
Hand in hand, I'll always be there for you
If only stars above could make this fear go away
Then I'd ask you to,
Forget all the people around you

I never should've loved you but I want you to know
Long story short, I'm happy for you
There'll always be a bridge that takes you straight to my soul
Long story short, I will be waiting for you

I'm calling on you
Avoiding the truth
