shes been gone for a while they say
no one knows where she went that day
we thought she was a day away
from breaking apart once and for all
but i guess she did fall
for a boy she couldnt get to stay
who always wanted to play
so when she said she'll be back
to obey obey another day
i guess she bought a plane ticket
with the money from those bets she made
saying "i bet you a dollar for every word he'll say
he wont mean in another day"
when he just wants to play
and try to make her stay
a dollar came everyday for a year or so
sometimes twice a day if she really got beaten low
until the money was enough to get her out of town
until the boy was distant enough so she could leave without a sound
