Unlistenable Song

Geoff Berner
Thank you for sending me your new recording,
It was so kind of you to think of me.
Not a single track is boring, It's executed perfectly.
There's just one song I would forget if I could.
I guess that you could say it's just a little too good.
I have to skip it. I just can't listen.
I just can't listen to that song.
First time I heard it, I remember, I was driving
From somewhere to somewhere else.
Had to pull over because I just started crying,
As if I couldn't help myself.
As if something that I thought was over and done
Was something that I'll never really quite recover from.
I have to skip it. I just can't listen.
I just can't listen to that song.
That song reminds me of someone I used to know.
She needed help and protection,
And that's about as far on that subject as I like to go.
So be sure to tell me when you're coming through town next.
I'll try to make it out. Maybe we could have a drink after soundcheck.
There's lots we could chat about.
And with your setlist, don't change a thing,
Just give a little warning before you begin.
I have to skip it. I just can't listen. I just can't listen to that song.
