mediocre man

Take me with you, she says As I pull out onto the street I say, there's room in the back And she smiles and she laughs and says Thanks, honey, you're sweet But she stays on the front porch As I pull away, and that Happy smile drifts slowly from her face Because she's going back inside To a mediocre man But she's gonna love him Just as hard as she can She only falls apart when she's all alone, yeah She only falls apart when there's nobody home She's quick to forgive She's quick to forget And yet, in her eyes you can see The ghost of the man That she wishes he would be The ghost of the man that he should be She's going back inside To her mediocre man But she's given up loving him And he doesn't understand She fell apart when he left her on her own She fell apart when she let him into her home Take me with you, she says As I pull out onto the street I say, there's room in the back And she smiles and she laughs and says Thanks, honey, you're sweet And she gets into the backseat As I pull away, and that Happy smile gets bigger on her face Because she's given up on her mediocre man Found someone else to love her as hard as they can She'll never fall apart again Not over him She's over him
