The Other Girl Lyrics

I met a girl who wanted a song about her
On a straight highway going south
She settled down and started her story
She's just trying to figure some things out

I don't know
I just can't find the words but

The other girl was sitting in the mirror
Not really saying all that much
Settled down as her eyes started closing
I felt so out of touch

I can't say
I just can't tell her about it

(Chorus):
The other girl is the one that makes me see
That I can write a song about someone and be free
I never knew enough to tell her how I feel

We walked away and then we settled
She's throwing crumbs into the dust
A shattered land under bright white fingers
Just trying to build a little trust

I don't know
I just can't find the words but

(Chorus)

I don't know what I should do
I don't know what I should say

When we came back things started changing
Walls were shot up instantly
All the rules were breaking the answers
Some things just aren't meant to be but

I don't know
I just can't take that answer

(Chorus)
