Tin Can On A String Songtext / Lyric

After the breakup, I really thought we'd make up
Give her a little time, I'd be on her mind and suddenly she'd wake up
But today if you listen, softly off in the distance
Somewhere 'cross town, you can hear the sound
of wedding bells ringing
And there's bird seed on the concrete and she's waving goodbye And they're driving away
and everybody cheerin' them on as the taillights fade
Yeah, she's really gone, I thought someday that would be me
But now she's driving away in that limousine and I'm holdin' on
Like a tin can on a string Somewhere in my mind, I'm the one by her side
In that backseat, talkin' 'bout the beach and that honeymoon flight
I'd play the whole thing out, from the kids to the house
to the future that we always dreamed about
But there's bird seed on the concrete and back here in reality

She's driving away
and everybody cheerin' them on as the taillights fade
Yeah, she's really gone, I thought someday that would be me
But now she's driving away in that limousine and I'm holdin' on
Like a tin can on a string

I thought someday that would be me,
but now she's driving away in that limousine
And I'm not ready to let go of everything
So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on like a tin can on a string
