"Frances" lyrics

Frances, she was amazing
She held my hand in
Times like this

She dances under the strobe lights
She'd call me handsome
On nights like this

But at the end of the day
What's my mother gonna say
When I come home crying?
At the end of the day
I'm just happy I could say she was mine

Hey-hey, oh-oh
The dog days, the rides home
The tall cans, the long nights
The small chance we'd be together if I didn't push you out of the spotlight
I don't know why
I still can't get it right

Frances, she loved the pine trees
Would swing from the branches
On days like this
Dances under the moonlight
I'd make advances when midnight hit

But at the end of the day
What's my mother gonna say
When I come home crying?
At the end of the day
I'm just happy I could say she was mine

Hey-hey, oh-oh
The dog days, the rides home
The tall cans, the long nights
The small chance we'd be together if I didn't push you out of the spotlight
I don't know why
I still can't get it right

And every letter in her name, every smile on her face
Was the silver lining
What's there really left to say?
I'm just thinking of the days we were fine

Hey-hey, oh-oh
The dog days, the rides home
The tall cans, the long nights
The small chance we'd be together if I didn't push you out of the spotlight
I don't know why
I still can't get it right

I don't know why
I still can't get it right
