about

Sort of a part 2 to "Traffic". It goes into more detail about how I harboured these unreasonable expectations and daydreams about a future A.M. and I would never share. It also describes a lunch "date" we went on after she'd told me she wasn't in the head-space to date anyone at the moment—the old, it's not you, it's me speech. Why would I go on that date? I think I was trying to prove to both of us that I was big enough to "just be friends" with her after getting shot down. Really, I just missed being near her.

lyrics

I’m giving up on you
I’m giving up on you
I’ve seen what I gotta do
I’m giving up on you

I have our house picked out
and the names of our kids
and the car we’re going to drive
it’s never been like this before
I forget that we’re not married
forget that we’re not dating
you’re just a friend I see sometimes
just a friend who spends my time

so I’m giving up on you
I’m giving up on you
I’ve seen what I gotta do
I’m giving up on you

should I even be at this table
eating curry and drinking thai beer?
as I push crumbs of rice around my plate
I can’t follow what you’re saying
I’m nodding and counting the ways
this situation will mess me up
when you start dating someone else
when you’re dating someone else

so I’m giving up on you
I’m giving up on you
I’ve seen what I gotta do
I’m giving up on you

I have this crazy dream
we’re lying in our bed
the sun has long since risen
but we’re not getting up
you kiss my cheek and whisper
“why did you wait for me?”
and I hold you tight and say
because because because because…

I wasn’t giving up on you
I wasn’t giving up on you
I saw what I had to do
and I wasn’t giving up on you

I’m not giving up on you
I’m not giving up on you
I’ve seen what I gotta do
but I’m not giving up on you
