Carnations

They're still in love with their ex And I'm not feeling my best This is a bad combination 'Cause every time they're around I get all dolled up and gowned Been seeing stars and carnations 'Cause I've been dreaming I might Just up and bail on this plight And maybe go on vacation Pack up my shit in the dark And if the car doesn't start It spares us both conversations I take a train down the coast And disappear on a boat To live on berries and kiwis Settle far from the snow And when my skin starts to glow Won't worry 'bout it all peeling I've got this feeling I may come back and close up someday Won't be all sappy and weepy 'Cause I'll be rested and warm Sand in my hair from the shore My face looks flushed when they see me
