[00:23.19]You see the number
[00:24.41]on the matchbook
[00:26.09]is old and faded
[00:28.18]
[00:30.76]She's livin' in L.A.
[00:33.64]With my best old ex-friend Ray
[00:38.60]A guy she said she knew well
[00:40.96]and sometimes hated

[01:02.36]I've overcome the blow
[01:04.64]I've learned to take it well
[01:06.19]I only wish my words
[01:08.07]could just convince myself
[01:09.92]that it just wasn't real
[01:13.29]But that's not the way it feels
[01:15.71]
