It was such an easy year when you left here
My friends came in your stead
They didn't even ask me "How" or "When"
I would love again

It was such an easy move from Bloomington
To my parent's house
They didn't even ask me "How" or "When"
I'd become a man

Someday you'll have to make it work,
but for now it's okay


I had such a tantrum when my life went south
Digging nickels from the couch
I couldn't even tell you how or when 
I did half the things I did

It was such an awful scene when you showed up
and I blamed you for my faults
I couldn't even tell you how or when.
You just grabbed my arm and said

"Someday you'll have to make it work,
but for now it's okay"
