LEFT RIGHT - XG

Friends break up, friends get married Strangers get born, strangers get buried Trends change, rumors fly through new skies But I'm right where you left me Matches burn after the other Pages turn and stick to each other Wages earned and lessons learned But I, I'm right where you left me Help, I'm still at the restaurant Still sitting in a corner I haunt Cross-legged in the dim light They say, "What a sad sight" I, I swear you could hear a hair pin drop Right when I felt the moment stop Glass shattered on the white cloth Everybody moved on I, I stayed there Dust collected on my pinned-up hair They expected me to find somewhere Some perspective, but I sat and stared Right where you left me You left me no, oh, you left me no You left me no choice but to stay here forever You left me, you left me no, oh, you left me no You left me no choice but to stay here forever Did you ever hear about the girl who got frozen? Time went on for everybody else, she won't know it She's still 23 inside her fantasy How it was supposed to be Did you hear about the girl who lives in delusion? Break-ups happen every day, you don't have to lose it She's still 23 inside her fantasy And you're sitting in front of me At the restaurant, when I was still the one you want Cross-legged in the dim light, everything was just right I, I could feel the mascara run You told me that you met someone Glass shattered on the white cloth Everybody moved on Help, I'm still at the restaurant Still sitting in a corner I haunt Cross-legged in the dim light They say, "What a sad sight" I, I stayed there Dust collected on my pinned-up hair I'm sure that you got a wife out there Kids and Christmas, but I'm unaware 'Cause I'm right where I cause no harm, mind my business If our love died young, I can't bear witness And it's been so long But if you ever think you got it wrong I'm right where you left me You left me no, oh, you left me no You left me no choice but to stay here forever You left me You left me no, oh, you left me no You left me no choice but to stay here forever

There once was a musical troupe A pickin' singin' folk group They sang the mountain ballads And the folk songs of our land They were long on musical ability Folks thought they would go far But political incompatibility Led to their downfall Well, the one on the right was on the left And the one in the middle was on the right And the one on the left was in the middle And the guy in the rear was a Methodist This musical aggregation Toured the entire nation Singing the traditional ballads And the folk songs of our land (land) They performed with great virtuosity And soon they were the rage But political animosity Prevailed upon the stage Well, the one on the right was on the left And the one in the middle was on the right And the one on the left was in the middle And the guy in the rear burned his driver's license Well the curtain had ascended A hush fell on the crowd As thousands there were gathered To hear the folk songs of our land But they took their politics seriously And that night at the concert hall As the audience watched deliriously They had a free-for-all Well, the one on the right was on the bottom And the one in the middle was on the top And the one on the left got a broken arm And the guy in the rear said, "Oh dear" Now this should be a lesson If you plan to start a folk group Don't go mixin' politics With the folk songs of our land Just work on harmony and diction Play your banjo well And if you have political convictions Keep 'em to yourself Now, the one on the left works in a bank And the one in the middle drives a truck The one on the right's an all-night deejay And the guy in the rear got drafted

The thing about a break up Sometimes you just gotta break down Coming off a great love There's plenty of pain to pass around Like a tip jar in a dive bar Full of broken hearts, It's a lonely crowd The thing about a breakup Sometimes you just gotta break down When the only thing you want is The only thing that you can't have When the part that you can't take is Knowing you can't take it back She's on the good side, goodbye On the right sight of free You're on the wrong end of a long night On the left side of leavin' (Oh-whoa) yeah (Oh-whoa) on the left side of leavin' (Oh-whoa) (Oh-whoa) The thing about a last kiss You never know that it's the last 'Til they call the last call And you're just drinking about the past Like the bottom of the bottle Knows how to get her back The thing about a last kiss You never know that it's the last When the only thing you want is The only thing that you can't have When the part that you can't take is Knowing you can't take it back She's on the good side, goodbye On the right sight of free You're on the wrong end of a long night On the left side of leavin' (Oh-whoa) yeah (Oh-whoa) on the left side of leavin' (Oh-whoa) (Oh-whoa) Stuck on the left side Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh You're on the drunk part of drinking The can't stop part of thinking The wide awake part of sleeping, whoa You're on the broke part of breaking The mistake part of making You're on the cane part of shaking, whoa When the only thing you want is The only thing that you can't have When the part that you can't take is Knowing you can't take it back She's on the good side, goodbye On the right sight of free You're on the wrong end of a long night On the left side of leavin' (Oh-whoa) whoa, oh-oh-oh-oh, whoa (Oh-whoa) (Oh-whoa) oh, you're on the left side of leavin' (Oh-whoa) (Oh-whoa) whoa, whoa (Oh-whoa) left side (Oh-whoa) leavin' (Oh-whoa) (Oh-whoa) mm-mm (Oh-whoa) from left side of leavin' (Oh-whoa) whoa
