"Chelsea Boots" lyrics

I took a break from surfing couches
Just to wind up in your king bed
You held me like you cared

It wasn't until the morning when you
Started finding me a little boring
So much for our brief affair

I showed myself your door
You know I, I've been here before
And ever since I left your house
You never even call me pretty anymore

Mmm, I've been trying to get it right
You were bluffin' I meant nothin'
But I'll be fine

And now that you got what you wanted I
I think my house is haunted
With all our potential
That we left here in Seattle

And it's a shame, if you really got to know me
Past my middle name and the curves on my body
I think you'd really like me

But now I've been trying to get it right
You were bluffin' I meant nothin'
But I'll be fine

Tell me how this game works
(I'm losin')
'Cuz you wanted me first
(I'm losin')
And tell me which one is worse
(I'm losin')
To walk away or stay the girl that you're not choosin'
I think that I'll start movin' on

But now I
Want my hours back trying to read you
And every second spent thinkin' I need you
You were my favorite waste of time

And I don't think you're any less of a man but
I can't be your friend, I hope you understand 'cuz
Friends don't hold each other like that

So even though you cut me lose I'll
Remember you in your Chelsea Boots
Standing in my front yard
Oh, why can't we just go back to the start

Go back to the start
Go back to

And now I've been livin' my own life
But if you think this song's about you
You're right
