After the breakup
I really thought we´d make up
Give her a little time, I´d be on her mind
And suddenly she´d wake up

But today if you listen
Softly off in the distance
Somewhere ´cross town, you can hear the sound
Of wedding bells ringing
And there´s bird seed on the concrete
And she´s waving goodbye

And they´re driving away
And everybody is cheering´ them on as the taillights fade
Yeah she´s really gone
I thought someday that would be me
But now she´s driving away in that limousine
And I´m holding´ on
Like a tin can on a string

Somewhere in my mind

I´m the one by her side
In that backseat, talking´ ´bout the beach
And that honeymoon flight
I´d play the whole thing out
From the kids to the house
To the future that we always dreamed about
But there´s bird seed on the concrete
And back here in reality

She´s driving away
And everybody is cheering´ them on as the taillights fade
Yeah she´s really gone
I thought someday that would be me
But now she´s driving away in that limousine
And I´m holding´ on
Like a tin can on a string

I thought someday that would be me
But now she´s driving away in that limousine
And I´m not ready to let go of everything
So I´m holding´ on, I´m holding´ on
Like a tin can on a string
