They say it’s better to have loved and lost than never loved at all
But sage words are as useful now as those written in bathroom stalls
The time has come to bury my love, future, present and past
This time I’ve got nothing left, this time I’ve loved my last

A faded maple bat and dog-eared, worn-out letters,
With vows of things looking up and changes for the better
Find a house out west and scrape some cash together
But dreams were always meant to be dot-dash-dot dot dash-dot dashed

Go big or go home I’m told, so I went for lock, stock and barrel
The name up in bright lights and the world broken to the marrow
Instead I found much more in you, my darling peach,
If only I’d realized sooner, when I had you in my reach

A faded maple bat and dog-eared, worn-out letters,
With vows of things looking up and changes for the better
Find a house out west and scrape some cash together
But dreams were always meant to be dot-dash-dot dot dash-dot dashed
