Calexico Songtext
von Darryl Rahn

They′re singing happy birthday to the person right behind me
And it makes me think of when you told the server it was mine
They brought us both a margarita and then everybody sang along
You and I just laughed 'cause it felt wrong, it felt wrong


They didn′t even charge us, so we left a crazy tip
I still felt bad, you said, "They don't give a shit"
Then we left for karaoke at the little bar right off your train
You put me to shame with Purple Rain, Purple Rain

Yours was seven weeks ago, I wonder where you went
You could've booked a flight to China with the miles you never spent
I was on the verge of calling, but then everybody made me stop
I wonder if you thought I just forgot, just forgot

They′re singing happy birthday to the person right behind me
I guess it makes me think of you no matter what my state of mind
Yeah, I know I got my freedom, but my freedom isn′t what I want
Why'd I even choose this restaurant?
