[Verse 1]
Life lived in paragraphs
Love like it's measured on the page
Rub the messy thoughts away
And start again
I heard you'd settled back down
Done up some old abandoned place
Somewhere no one else can find you
[Chorus]
Danny came up
He sat right down as he gave me the news
Said he's better
Better off alone
Asked him how you were
But I guess I'll never know
[Verse 2]
Crackеd glass and buzzing lights
The low notes when trucks pass in thе night
Always said you had some silence to find
The sun's up but not for long
Can see there’s a fog that's blowing in
Guess it's not a day for driving
[Chorus]
Danny came up
He sat right down as he gave me the news
Said he's better
Better off alone
You'd been out of love
For so long
[Chorus]
Danny came up
He said you'd asked him to give me the news
He looked older
Like he's running low
Asked him how you were
But I guess I'll never know
[Bridge]
Not tonight
There's mist on the causeway
Not tonight
They've closed off the highway
Not tonight
The boat came in too late
[Chorus]
Danny came up
He sat right down as he gave me the news
Said he's better
Better off alone
You'd been out of love
For so long
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Danny came up
He said you'd asked him to give me the news
He looked older
Like he's running low
Asked him how you were
But I guess I'll never know
