Happiest Place On Earth

We took a walk through the field out by my old church
We took a walk though the woods by your childhood home
We lay under the stars
It was freezing in the dark
But your hand, in mine, was warm

Spooning in your van when we both got tired of that party
You told me you dreamt I had died
And you guess you love me too
I only thought of you
Should've seen it as a sign

Talking about family and kids at the park
Told you that I could see having a few in the car
My beat-up old Corolla
Born the same year that I was
I loved that thing more than I said

We took a walk through the woods near your childhood home
You cried into my shoulder
About how you wanted him to stop but he wouldn't
In the happiest place on Earth
What a joke

After they found you in the tub, rehab got you sober
That year you got a few years older
By then we had split
But we still talked about it
You were only a few towns over

We lay naked in your bed for the first time in a while
Said you started talking to a guy with a career and a nice smile
Said I'm happy for you
If you can just see it through
And we lay there in peaceful denial

We had dinner last Christmas with all our old friends
Hadn't seen you in half a decade but it felt like nothing
Your husband's at home
And you're still sober alone
All things have to come to an end

It's time to leave but I don't want to go
We stand talking by the door leading out to the cold
I know you see me
And I see you relieved
Recognition, year and years old

You say that it was good to see you and go in for a hug
It's one that I'm not familiar with but it's still warm
And that's good enough
That's good enough
