Sanity

At the edge of the docks, on a Thursday evening

A memory of what might have been

The keys slipped out your olive green jacket

And then they fell right in

I stripped down and climbed into the water

November ain't a good month to swim

I couldn't feel my toes and said

"I suppose we'll never drive that car again"

And if I told ya, it all works out

If you accept the things you can't change

I was either lying or trying to say

"Sanity is wasted on the sane"

I got out the water, you said, "I'm sorry

You nearly froze down there"

You blocked the light from a streetlamp, I put on my pants

And threw out my frozen underwear

We walked to the bar, 'round the corner

Drafting eulogies for the car

You ordered French fries, I got some chicken wings

We split a pitcher of PBR

If I told ya, it all works out

If you accept the things you can't change

I was either lying or trying to say

"Sanity is wasted on the sane"

I called Garrett at 9 p.m.

Asked if him and Laura were at home

'Cause we're stuck at a bar two towns over

Can you put me on the speakerphone?

If you pick us up before last call

You'll be included in the next round

And I'll muster up the courage to sing karaoke

If that machine has "Don't Let Me Down"

If I told ya, it all works out

If you accept the things you can't change

I was either lying or trying to say

"Sanity is wasted on the sane"

If I told ya, it's gonna all work out

For me to keep wearing this old ring

I was either lying or trying to say

I wouldn't change a single thing
