Calling And Not Calling My Ex Lyrics - The Stand Ins - Okkervil River

She was once mine 

That smile that shines 

From the glossy magazine that's stuck inside the Sunday Times 

She was so sweet on Christmas Eve 

With the snow set deep 

When we went walking through the pines 

I had just been fired and her first offer had arrived 

And the new year would see her flying far away from me 

Though I didn't know it at the time 

With outstretched hands 

Now she commands 

A famous figure for every picture 

And she stands up strong and she demands 

And they deliver 

Yeah, she's a fixture

And it's a mixture of dumb jealousy and fear 

That I might feel should she appear 

Just like it hasn't been three years 

And there's a distance to her voice over the phone 

And that's because she stands alone 

While I'm still sitting here 

Girl, you see me here on another quiet night 

I will wait until another indistinguishable day arrives 

I'll decide where the light's even and bright 

Where my life's sweet as it's slightly, disappointedly, just gliding softly by 

And you won't wait for me in some secluded stand of trees 

Some Christmas Eve, some God was kind enough to set aside 

Although I'd love you too, I'm proud of you 

God knows I'm feeling really stupid now 

For ever having said goodbye 

During the fight 

I said, "Yeah right" 

When you insisted that I visit, that you'd write 

Photos 

Now, I know you're working hard 

So I never hear from you, and that's fine 

You look the same on TV as when you were mine 

I walk in from the kitchen and I finger the remote control 

I watch you from the distance, you go walking through the terminal 

I remember ever instance, when you stung me 

Oh, you're so lovely 

Oh, you're so smart 

So, go turn their heads, go knock them dead, go break their hearts 

Go break their hearts 

Baby, break their hearts 

And I know you will
