[00:20.25]After the breakup,
[00:23.25]I really thought we'd make up.
[00:25.55]
[00:27.18]Give her a little time,
[00:29.11]I'd be on her mind
[00:30.56]And suddenly she'd wake up.
[00:32.81]
[00:33.87]But today if you listen,
[00:36.06]
[00:37.31]Softly off in the distance,
[00:39.61]
[00:41.11]Somewhere 'cross town,
[00:43.11]you can hear the sound
[00:44.86]Of wedding bells ringing.
[00:46.98]
[00:48.66]And there's bird seed on the concrete,
[00:51.79]
[00:52.47]And she's waving goodbye
[00:55.35]And they're driving away
[00:58.78]And everybody cheerin' them on
[01:01.97]as the taillights fade
[01:05.27]
[01:06.03]Yeah she's really gone,
[01:09.21]I thought someday that would be me
[01:15.14]
[01:15.70]But now she's driving away in that limousine
[01:21.69]
[01:22.94]And I'm holdin' on
[01:24.81]
[01:25.56]Like a tin can on a string.
[01:29.06]
[01:33.42]Somewhere in my mind,
[01:35.42]
[01:36.73]I'm the one by her side.
[01:39.23]
[01:40.72]In that backseat, talkin' 'bout the beach
[01:44.47]And that honeymoon flight.
[01:46.21]
[01:47.33]I'd play the whole thing out,
[01:49.95]
[01:50.96]From the kids to the house,
[01:53.64]
[01:54.89]To the future that we always dreamed about.
[02:00.57]
[02:02.18]But there's bird seed on the concrete,
[02:05.40]
[02:06.03]And back here in reality
[02:08.90]She's driving away
[02:12.53]And everybody cheerin' them on
[02:15.71]as the taillights fade
[02:19.76]Yeah she's really gone,
[02:22.50]I thought someday that would be me
[02:29.40]But now she's driving away in that limousine
[02:35.51]
[02:36.39]And I'm holdin' on
[02:39.16]Like a tin can on a string.
[02:42.28]
[03:01.06]I thought someday that would be me
[03:07.99]But now she's driving away in that limousine
[03:13.47]
[03:15.42]And I'm not ready to let go of everything
[03:21.15]
[03:21.90]So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on
[03:28.82]
[03:31.50]Like a tin can on a string.
