Lyric

I went out with everyone last night

Stayed longer than I meant to

Someone told that story about the train

I laughed until my face hurt

Walked outside still smiling

Looking for my coat

Then it hit me by the doorway

I hadn't thought of you once

Not on the way there

Not when they played that song

Not even when someone ordered

The drink you always had

I was having a good night

Why did that hurt?

I was almost happy

Didn't even notice

Three whole hours

And you never crossed my mind

I walked home still smiling

Took the long way back

Then halfway down the block

I thought of you again

Maya said she saw you last week

You told her we just grew apart

That neither one of us was happy

By the end

I said, "Yeah, I guess"

But that's not how I remember it

We were laughing in the kitchen

Two nights before you left

You were trying to fix the radio

And swearing at the wires

I almost asked her

What else you said

Then changed the subject

Before she could answer

I kept talking

She let it go

I told another story

And ordered one more drink

I was almost happy

Didn't even notice

Three whole hours

And you never crossed my mind

Then somebody said your name

I looked up before I meant to

Nobody there

Just people talking

On the walk home

I took my phone out

Typed the first two letters

And your name came up

I stared at it

Then locked the screen

Didn't open anything

Just put it back in my pocket

And kept walking

I don't want you back

I know that much

But three hours?

I didn't know

I'd gone that long

I started counting

Then lost track

Three hours

Maybe more

I was almost happy

Didn't even notice

Three whole hours

And you never crossed my mind

I kept walking home

Trying not to count

Made it to the corner

Started counting again

Three whole hours

I didn't think of you

I was almost happy

Didn't even notice

Three whole hours

And you never crossed my mind

Now I've spent the whole walk home

Thinking about those three

Trying to remember

When I last thought of you

Was it yesterday?

No

Maybe Thursday

I can't remember

Got home after midnight

Took off my shoes

Put my phone on the table

Went to bed
