Tiger

Tonight, your name is Charlotte

In a play within a play

She tells her husband that she's happy

But she's planning her escape

God, you make it look so easy

I forget it isn't real

That's why you think nobody trusts you

To say how you really feel

They showed your paintings to a doctor

When you were acting out

Throwing money at a problem

They couldn't talk about

I followed you to San Francisco

So you could finish your degree

Got a job painting houses

A couple days a week

I go out with the guys on Sundays

Don't know if I would call 'em friends

And when I finally found my footing

The offers started pouring in

This is where it all begins

You got your lucky break

I will always be the one

That got out of your way

In my imagination

I'm sitting on the fence

Between the life we almost had

And whatever's coming next

I'm moving back to Mason

Bracing for the cold

I'm gonna miss the weather

But it never felt like home

You say you didn't see it coming

I didn't see it either

Sorry that I couldn't cut it

Go get 'em, tiger
