He told her the city was k**ing him
Everyone was stacked in a row
She was thirty five years old
He was the first man she ever fell in with
The first man she ever lived with
Her friends told her it was a mistake
But she quit her job and used the money she'd saved
They packed up her car and drove
To the dessert and the new used out home
She got a job in a bank
He got drunk one night and threw a chair at her while she was sleeping
Now she's staring out the window getting old
Such a price to pay for not wanting to live alone
She never knew where he'd go
But he was hardly ever home
And he said the dessert was k**ing him
So they packed her car and moved
They pick up and start again
They'd fall apart and start again
Lose a job and start again
Get bruised up and start again
Now she's staring out the window getting old
Such a price to pay
Now she's staring out the window getting old
Such a price to pay for not wanting to be alone
