She opened with how you been
And I replied fine and how you doing
With a seven year suicide
With a neighbor and a married woman
She looked at me kind of strange
And she told me she'd soon be wed
I wished I was someone else
I wished I would soon be dead, from what she said
Sail on but never sail away
Dealt your cards, It's time to fold now
Seems like just yesterday
We were young as this mornings sun
Heading North on the thruway
When you realized you weren't going home
Turned on the stereo
And they played your old wedding song
Light another cigarette
And denying just what went wrong, just what went wrong
Sail on but never sail away
Dealt your cards, It's time to fold now
We lived in a single room when we were 17
We traded self-control, for white line insanity
That's when I slammed the brakes
That's when I crashed the car
Remembering what we were
And denying who we are
Sail on but never sail away
Dealt your cards, It's time to fold now
