Lyrics

and it happened on a wednesday
when they curse the weak
and he met me after work
clearly very short of sleep
cuz he'd peen packing all night
and running errands all day
while i'd been writing him a letter
with all the nothings i could say

which i slipped into his purse
when he went to use the phone
and i remembered for a moment
what it meant to be alone
and i drove him to the depot
where we both tried not to cry
and as the big blue bus pulled out
i saw my right hand wave goodbye, but...

[chorus]
it doesn't feel like it's over
it doesn't feel like it's over
it doesn't feel like it's over
yet

headed back through the city
with the radio soft
tried to park him by the curb
walked up to my loft
sat down by the tv
with a left-over meal
but the food needed salt
and the people weren't real, and...

[chorus]
it doesn't feel like it's over
it doesn't feel like it's over
it doesn't feel like it's over
yet

[bridge]
you can leave me like a wave in the ocean
and i can turn from the tide
i can pick up sand and let it slip
through my fingers
and you can wash up on the other side...

now i step through the hoops
and i swing from day to day
and i look at other men
but they seem so far away
and i know he's even farther
and that i should let them in
but then why do i still sense him
on every inch of my skin?

[chorus]
it doesn't feel like it's over
it doesn't feel like it's over
it doesn't feel like it's over
yet
