Caroline's Spine – Sweet & Sour lyrics

She said, "who answered the phone?
i dont understand, i thought youd be alone
tonight."
I said, "the girl who lives here,
said the band could stay if we bought the
beer."
she said, "i dont like the sound of that,
tell me what she looks like - thing or fat?"
i said, "uh...i cant really say,
what does it matter anyway?"

i said, "it's good to hear your voice,
i really do miss you but we made the right
choice."
she said, "i hope you're eating well and
living here w/o you is living through
hell."
i said, "...well i may be home early
it'll be a few days till i know for surely"
"shirley! Is that her name?
is she in love and do you feel the same?"
no, i dont feel the same

chorus:
i cannot find a way to make peace with
you today.
so where will we be tomorrow?

so i busted my ass to make it home and
when i got there - she wasnt alone
she said, "you're home so soon.
i didnt get a chance to clean the room."
I said, "...forget this house...
road cheese calls both man and mouse."
she said, "dont end it this way.
i really did miss you everyday
...well...almost everyday...in every way."
