Plans In Pencil Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She was only 22
She left a note laced in her perfume
It was supposed to say, "I love you"
But a goodbye would have to do
I know it's not supposed to be this way
After hours of conversation, he was supposed to stay
But isn't that typical?
And that's why she makes plans in pencil

[Chorus]
Now that it's over and those brown eyes are gone
All the memories, tattooed in permanent ink
Sometimes you don't get closure
You just have to move on
First dates and birthday parties
She almost wrote them down in Sharpies

[Post-Chorus]
But isn't that typical?
Guess that's why she makes plans in pencil

[Verse 2]
So she welcomes a new year, welcomes her new self
Welcomes her new life Thinking this sh's gonna get this right
And the next one will be better than before
And the next one will be better than before
[Chorus]
Now that it's over and those brown eyes are gone
All the memories, tattooed in permanent ink
Sometimes you don't get closure
You just have to move on
First dates and birthday parties
She almost wrote them down in Sharpies

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
And now that it's over and yesterday's gone
All the memories, tattooed in permanent ink
Sometimes you don't get closure
You just have to move on
First dates and birthday parties
Almost wrote them down in Sharpies

[Post-Chorus]
But isn't that typical?
I guess that's why she makes plans in pencil
