Life has a way of sticking with you. This true story happened 10 years prior in Montana circa 1994.
lyrics
TWO WEEKS
Words and Music by Tage Plantell
It must be long-distance wires that wrap your voice up for miles
It’d be nice to hear from you it’s been four days
Why did you run away and leave no words to explain
I turned and there you weren’t… you were gone
I hope that you are safe now that you’ve taken my heart away
Someday I’ll want you to bring it back
Although we’re not agreeing but it’s you that I’m still seeing
So I’ll see you soon real soon we’ll see
Because to quit you’ve got to give your two weeks
When you said you’ve changed
I though what you meant to say
Is that you were placing all your fears behind you
Then to my dismay
I found what you did not say
Is that you were taking off with some guy beside you
Well I know that you're leaving
But that don’t stop me from believing
That you’ll be coming home to me
You might ask why I wait for her
Although I know there's something wrong
Once upon a time she swore to me
That she would never leave me long
Are we through
Cause I’m still not over you
I’m sitting here believing that you’ll be back for me
Are we through
Cause I’m still in love with you
I'm sitting here believing you won't be back for me
