Short in the Sleeve - Punchline

You skipped the rest stop
Throwing back coffee and hopped up
On the thrill of feeling her touch again
Fighting rain on the highway
Three months since the last day
When you held her close at summer's end

Racing up to her dorm room
With a bracelet and perfume
And a book you borrowed back in July
Slipped the bracelet on her wrist
She gave it back with a cheek kiss
And tore your heart open wide

She tried to let you down easy
Said you weren't to blame the magic just died
Your dream turned into a bad joke
And you wound up the punchline

Choking up on the drive home
You scrolled through pictures on your phone
Just to torture yourself with her smile
Every song on the playlist
Every thought of what you missed
Kept killing you more every mile

She tried to let you down easy
Said you weren't to blame the magic just died
Your dream turned into a bad joke
And you wound up the punchline

She tried to let you down easy
Said you weren't to blame the magic just died
Your dream turned into a bad joke
And you wound up the punchline
