[Verse 1]
       
As you promise

d me that I wa

s more than al

l the miles co

mbined
              
You must have 


had yourself a

 change of hea

rt like halfwa

y through the 

drive
            
'Cause your vo


ice trailed of

f exactly as y

ou passed my e

xit sign

Kept on drivin

g straight and

 left our futu

re to the righ

t


[Verse 2]
         
Now I am stuck

 between my an

ger and the bl

ame that I can

't face
         
And memories a

re something e

ven smoking we

ed does not re

place
         
And I am terri

fied of weathe

r 'cause I see

 you when it r

ains

Doc told me to

 travel but th

ere's COVID on

 the planes


[Chorus]
            
And I love Ver

              
mont but it's 

              
the season of 

              
the sticks and

    
 I

Saw your mom she forgot that I existed
        
And It's half 

my fault but I

 just like to 

play the victi

m
          
I'll drink alc

ohol 'till my 

friends come h

ome for Christ

mas
        
And I'll dream

 each night of

 some version 

of you
      
That I might n

ot have but I 

did not lose
         
Now you're tir

e tracks and o

ne pair of sho

es
             
And I'm split 

              
in half but th

             
at'll have to 

           
do ooh ooh


[Verse 3]
     
So I thought t

hat if I piled

 something goo

d on all my ba

d
             
That I could c

ancel out the 

darkness I inh

erited from da

d
       
No I am no lon

ger funny 'cau

se I miss the 

way you laugh

Once called me

 forever now y

ou still can't

 call me back


[Chorus]
             
And I love Ver

              
mont but it's 

              
the season of

[Bridge]
             
Oh, that'll ha

        
ve to do
              
My other half

I hope this pa

          
in's just pass

But I doubt it


[Chorus]
