I woke up late again and for the first time in a while
I don't feel wrong or lazy and it doesn't feel like standing trial
You were married in the morning, or at least that's what I heard.
Another man in California to feel your touch and hear your words.

Was it just a lesson, or was it in my mind?
I thought that I was the exception
and I thought you were the one
but I was just the first one waiting in line.

When we finally got settled I couldn't feel my toes.
We drove right up the middle and kissed until we froze.
You're still in every letter, yeah you're the box on my shelf.
Lighter than a feather, heavier than hell.

Was it just a lesson, or was it in my mind?
Thought I was the exception
I though you were the one
but I was just the first one waiting in line

Taking our time saying goodbye, any little reason to stay.
This is the last time.
It's not even that I still wish you were mine, I just don't know how to wish you away and it's about time.

Was it just a lesson, or was it in my mind?
I thought I was the exception.
I thought you were the one
but I was just the first one waiting in line.
