i still carry your picture around

i just want to kiss you but this time could be the last

so i purse my lips and miss you won’t you pour me a new glass?

i know this old one ain’t quite empty but i ain’t had that much

he says “you got to learn to say when you don’t say it enough”

you don’t say it enough

so i roll you and i smoke you let you stream out of my mouth

and i can still smell you on me even when i come back down

you know i got someone back home that i ain’t been doing right

so how come i am still just the girl on the side

i’m just a girl on the side

so i call you up

just to ask how you been

and i tell you about

this new love i’m breaking in

and i know i’m wrong but it’s been so long

since i’ve been in town

but i still carry your picture around

my mother sends me phone cards i call her once a week

and the weather is always better there every time we speak

i show all my friends your photo and they say i did just fine

i call you just to tell you it’s raining outside

it’s always raining outside

i’ve been talking in my sleep again to make up for the day

and there ain’t nobody ‘round here that wants to hear what i have to say

besides i’d rather kiss you and you know i think I might

and if you want me back baby, i would drive home tonight

i would drive home tonight

so you call me up

just to ask where i’ve been

and i lie to you about this new love i’m breaking in

‘cause in a few more days i’ll be on my way

back in to town

but i still carry your picture around

i still carry your picture around

in just one drink you will matter more

but i start to forget after three or maybe four

and i’ve been living on granola bars and coffee and beer

and i still can’t tell you what i’m doing here

but i just want to kiss you and this time could be the last

so i purse my lips and miss you

won’t you pour me a new glass?

i want to make this bottle last

let’s make this bottle last
