Lyrics

Jaime.
by David Baron

Jaime was the girl back in high school who always sat alone by the door. When I said, ?I?m Dave, hey, won?t you give me your name?? She said, ?What do you want that for?? And despite all the pleas of a girl?s enemies, she never cared if they sighed. The girl nobody knew , but everyday had to dream of a better life.

Jaime, it?s over, I know it?s always on your mind.
Jaime, it?s over, you got a new life starting tonight.

Jaime went and married a rich man while I stood alone by the door. When she said, ?Don?t move, I?m gonna see you soon,? I said, ?What do you want that for?? And now she?s sitting alone with her hands to the phone at the Detroit City Bar. And we laugh at the days, and how much we?ve changed, without ever getting very far.

Jaime, it?s over, I know it?s always on your mind.
Jaime, it?s over, you got a new life starting tonight.

Now every time I look in the mirror, I can?t believe my eyes. I think of how I was only seven years old, my brothers were my whole life...and the people I love, and the people I don?t, and the ones I?ve left behind...I don?t care what you say, it?s a miracle, baby, that we?re all here tonight.

Jaime, it?s over, I know it?s always on your mind.
Jaime, it?s over, you got a new life starting tonight.
