It's just a joke Thought we were on the same page No, I didn't know you had a dog No, I didn't mean to let her run away But sometimes the weather messes with my head I never would have noticed if not for the grey She's safe and sound Sound asleep on my lap here at home And it's almost like I didn't do anything at all Oh, as if I'm not alone Yeah, all of the times my house smells like bookshops I turn as if to tell you But I'm on my own And I wanna say "goodnight" And I wanna say "I hope you're well" But we both know better than to ask Stupid questions at a time like this And I wanna call you home And I wanna run the record back But my chances are shot and I ran outta luck My sanity starts to crack And I'm telling jokes No, I didn't know that you'd run away
