Color It A Mystery

I took a drag, I packed my bags and I hit the city
Had I known when I left home you’d be here
I would have downed another round, ‘cause life ain’t pretty
When you’re known, but still alone and still unclear

Cry and moan on the phone, don’t say you don’t miss me
Through all of the fights, scratches and bites my love was there
It might have got tossed around and lost in fits so hissy
But if you call, I will follow you anywhere

Let’s stay friends, we’ll make amends down at the depot
‘Cause everybody knows how the story goes, except for you and me
I promise to write if any light shines through my window
But if it don’t, you can color it a mystery

Now I don’t know if I can go on without you
But if I stay, one of us better unload the gun
All of those times when I’m about to finally see
You’re content to color it a mystery

Let’s stay friends, we’ll make amends down at the depot
‘Cause everybody knows how the story goes, except for you and me
I promise to write if any light shines through my window
But if it don’t, you can color it a mystery
Said, if it don’t, you can color it a mystery
