‘tis the damn season

If I wanted to know who you were hanging with
 While I was gone I would have asked you
 It's the kind of cold, fogs up windshield glass
 But I felt it when I passed you
 There's an ache in you put there by the ache in me
 But if it's all the same to you
 It's the same to me
 So we could call it even
 You could call me babe for the weekend
 'Tis the damn season, write this down
 I'm stayin' at my parents' house
 And the road not taken looks real good now
 And it always leads to you in my hometown
 I parkеd my car right between the Methodist
 And thе school that used to be ours
 The holidays linger like bad perfume
 You can run, but only so far
 I escaped it too, remember how you watched me leave
 
 But if it's okay with you, it's okay with me
 We could call it even
 You could call me babe for the weekend
 'Tis the damn season, write this down
 I'm stayin' at my parents' house
 And the road not taken looks real good now
 Time flies, messy as the mud on your truck tires
 Now I'm missing your smile, hear me out
 We could just ride around
 And the road not taken looks real good now
 And it always leads to you in my hometown
 Sleep in half the day just for old times' sake
 I won't ask you to wait if you don't ask me to stay
 So I'll go back to L.A. and the so-called friends
 Who'll write books about me, if I ever make it
 And wonder about the only soul who can tell which smiles I'm fakin'
 And the heart I know I'm breakin' is my own
 To leave the warmest bed I've ever known
 We could call it even
 ♪
 Even though I'm leavin'
 ♪
 And I'll be yours for the weekend
 'Tis the damn season
 We could call it even
 You could call me babe for the weekend
 'Tis the damn season, write this down
 I'm stayin' at my parents' house
 And the road not taken looks real good now
 Time flies, messy as the mud on your truck tires
 Now I'm missing your smile, hear me out
 We could just ride around
 And the road not taken looks real good now
 And it always leads to you in my hometown
 It always leads to you in my hometown
