Carnations

They're still in love with their ex
 And I'm not feeling my best
 This is a bad combination
 'Cause every time they're around
 I get all dolled up and gowned
 Been seeing stars and carnations
 'Cause I've been dreaming I might
 Just up and bail on this plight
 And maybe go on vacation
 Pack up my shit in the dark
 And if the car doesn't start
 It spares us both conversations
 I take a train down the coast
 And disappear on a boat
 To live on berries and kiwis
 Settle far from the snow
 And when my skin starts to glow
 Won't worry about it all peeling
 I've got this feeling
 I may come back and close up someday
 Won't be all sappy and weepy
 'Cause I'll be rested and warm
 Sand in my hair from the shore
 My face looks flushed when they see me
