An indie folk-rock song about a one-night vanishing — sung by the woman left at the table when he never came back. The adult voice of a thirty-something who knows the difference between a guy who's slow to text and a guy who simply walked out. The wound isn't the silence. The wound is being left without goodbye.
Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse 1] I read the signs, I did the math, I thought we had a spark Two strangers tipping toward each other in the dark You were charming, you were funny, had me laughing at your jokes But I guess some guys are mirrors — just reflections and some smoke You said you'd be right back, and I waited there a while Then I waited longer, sitting like a fool inside my smile [Pre-Chorus] It was electric, but I should have known A man who's running disappears alone You don't need a reason, you don't need to say You can be a ghost in the middle of the day [Chorus] We met on a Saturday night I thought you liked me but I guess that wasn't right Tight jeans and my hair just right I wanted your hands on me all night But you slipped right out the door without a sound You picked the night I cared and you walked away from me I thought you liked me, but that wasn't right And the worst part is I never got a goodbye But hey — your loss, I'm moving on [Verse 2] It's Monday now, the sun is up, and I'm just sipping tea Analyzing why you'd run from something good as me Maybe I'm a little too much, or maybe you're just less But I won't spend my afternoon cleaning up your mess If you thought you'd find a girl who'd write your story for you You picked the wrong direction — I've got my own things to do [Pre-Chorus] It was electric, but I should have known A man who's running disappears alone You don't need a reason, you don't need to say You can be a ghost in the middle of the day [Chorus] We met on a Saturday night I thought you liked me but I guess that wasn't right Tight jeans and my hair just right I wanted your hands on me all night But you slipped right out the door without a sound You picked the night I cared and you walked away from me I thought you liked me, but that wasn't right And the worst part is I never got a goodbye But hey — your loss, I'm moving on [Bridge] I'm not the type to cry over a man who couldn't stay I've got too much rhythm to be wasting on your way You're a chapter I am closing, just a detour on the road I'm dropping off your silence, yeah, I'm lightening the load Lightening the load Lightening the load [Final Chorus] We met on a Saturday night I thought you liked me but I guess that wasn't right Tight jeans and my hair just right I wanted your hands on me all night But you slipped right out the door without a sound You picked the night I cared and you walked away from me I thought you liked me, but that wasn't right And the worst part is I never got a goodbye But hey — your loss, I'm moving on Yeah, your loss, I'm moving on [Outro] I'm too smart for the disappearing game And I've already forgotten your name Yeah, your loss I'm moving on
