Verse 1 (Female)
(Soft acoustic guitar, atmospheric pedal steel)
I don’t go to the Texaco
On the corner of 5th and Main.
I don't wanna see your truck
Or hear 'em say your name.
I shifted my whole routine
Just to keep from runnin' in.
I moved my shadow
To where yours hasn’t been.
Verse 2 (Male)
(Deep, grainy vocal)
Well, I stopped goin’ to that bar
Where they play the songs you like.
I take the long way home
Underneath the county light.
I gave you the downtown
And the coffee shop on 3rd.
I’m keepin’ my distance
Without sayin’ a word.
Pre-Chorus (Both - Harmonies)
We didn’t sign a paper.
We didn’t draw a line.
But we’re livin’ in two worlds
In a town this size.
Chorus (Both - Big and Emotional)
There’s your side of town and my side now.
Funny how a breakup redraws the map somehow.
I stay on my street, you stay on yours.
We don’t go knockin’ on the same screen doors.
Yeah, the heart’s got a border
That we don’t cross down.
I’m keepin’ to my side,
You keep to your side of town.
Verse 3 (Both)
(Female) Sometimes I hit the signal
(Male) To turn left onto Oak.
(Female) Then I remember
(Both) And I go back to the road.
(Male) It’s a lonely kind of atlas
(Both) That we’re carryin’ around.
Final Chorus (Both)
There’s your side of town and my side now.
Funny how a breakup redraws the map somehow.
I stay on my street, you stay on yours.
We don’t go knockin’ on the same screen doors.
Yeah, the heart’s got a border
That we don’t cross down.
I’m keepin’ to my side,
You keep to your side of town.
Tag
Yeah, your side of town.
I’ll stay on mine.
(Fade out with lonely pedal steel)
