Just Jack Lyrics
"253"

I watched her smile
Dissolve like Alka-Seltzer
And in all honesty
Man, I wish I could have helped her

But the words I spoke
Fell laden to the ground
Hitting that carpet
With a muffled clanging sound

I remember sitting later on the 253
Trying not to cry but the cry's on me
Sick to my stomach, feel so guilty
But I can't change the fact that

She had nothing that I needed
So over years the love receded
A bit like her old man's hair line
And mine

And at first she was all that I could see
Till other girls appeared in my periphery
And we lost something or so it seems,
Faded like her favourite jeans

I can't read her face
It's in an unknown language
I just hold her pretty hand
'Cause that's about all I can manage

I wish you wouldn't look at me that way
Knowing I'm a selfish bastard
She'll be thanking me one day
And maybe we can even part this disaster

I remember sitting later on the 253
Trying not to cry but the cry's on me
Sick to my stomach feeling so guilty
But I can't change the fact that

She had nothing that I needed
So over years the love receded
A bit like her old man's hair line
And mine

And at first she was all that I could see
Till other girls appeared in my periphery
And we lost something or so it seems
Faded like her favourite jeans

No, no, no, no promises
No, no, no, no promises
No, no, no, no promises
No, no, no, no promises
No promises, no promises

And this is the final curtain call
As in and out of love we fall
And it's too late to change that
Also too late to explain that

She had nothing that I needed
So over years the love receded
A bit like her old man's hair line
And mine

And at first she was all that I could see
Till other girls appeared in my periphery
And we lost something or so it seems
Faded like her favourite jeans

She had nothing that I needed
So over years the love receded
A bit like her old man's hair line
And mine

And at first she was all that I could see
Till other girls appeared in my periphery
And we lost something or so it seems
Faded like her favourite jeans

No, no, no, no promises
No, no, no, no promises
No, no, no, no promises
No, no, no, no promises
No promises, no promises

No, no, no, no promises
No, no, no, no promises
No, no, no, no promises
No, no, no, no promises
No promises, no promises
