lyrics

Celia says that she's tired of waiting
for me to come out & let go
I wish we could tell the whole world that we're dating
I'm not sure I want them to know

Celia says that she knows why I'm nervous
Celia's fearless & good
Celia's living with power & purpose
just like I wish that I could

every time I think I can do it
something whispers "why even try?"
I swear I never mean to put her through it
but if you ever see her cry, I'm the reason why

Celia says that the times are a-changin'
& soon we'll have rights like the rest
while they're out rioting, I am arranging
the roses & pens on my desk

Celia says that there's nothing to live for
if we don't live life like we like
Celia's dragging her bag out the back door
Celia's leaving tonight

& even as I wish I could stop her
something whispers "why even try?"
I had a lot of shots, but I lost her
so if you ever see her cry, I'm the reason why

Celia's having adventures without me
she should've been my wife
guess that she's prob'ly not thinking about me
Celia's gone from my life

& even though I say I don't miss her
the truth is that I'm barely getting by
& every day, I wish that I could kiss her
so if you ever see me cry, or see her with some guy
I'm the reason why – tell her I said bye
