Song lyrics

I knew I'd see her around,
I'd be at some party, she'd show up and I'd be walking out
Or across some parking lot hiding behind her sister,
I'd look up, she'd be at the red light beside me
In that white Maxima with the sticker on the back,
I'd act like I didn't see her;
We'd pay at the same pumps,
Flip through the same stations,
And slow down for the same curves
Run around with the same crowds.
We just needed some time,
She could get on with her life and I'd get on with mine,
Thought I would be fine, heh, but maybe not,
I knew she'd find a way to get over me,
But I'd never thought that

She would get down with somebody I know,
I guess that's just how it goes
When you break up in a small town.
I see our friends, and they put on a show
Like they don't want me to know,
So they give me the go-around.

But there's only so many streets, so many lights,
I swear it's like I can't even leave my house,
I should've known all along
You gotta move or move on
When you break up in a small town.

For a while I guess they were keeping it low-key,
But now it's like these county lines closing in on me,
I see 'em everywhere together,
And it's hitting a little too close to home.
She's so far gone, she just didn't go far,
She was over me before the grass grew back where she used to park her car,
She's leaving those same marks in someone else's yard,
In someone else's arms right down the road,
And I never thought that

She would get down with somebody I know,
I guess that's just how it goes
When you break up in a small town.
I see our friends, and they put on a show
Like they don't want me to know,
So they give me the go-around.

But there's only so many streets, so many lights,
I swear it's like I can't even leave my house,
I should've known all along
You gotta move or move on
When you break up in a small town.

Your mailbox is seven minutes from mine,
And I drive into town sometimes I see you sitting there with him,
And I wanna jump out,
I wanna fight,
I wanna say, “That guy!" but I can't,
It's my fault, I let her go,
I never thought that

She would get down with somebody I know,
I guess that's just how it goes
When you break up in a small town.
I see our friends, and they put on a show
Like they don't want me to know,
So they give me the go-around.

But there's only so many streets, so many lights,
I swear it's like I can't even leave my house,
I should've known all along
You gotta move or move on
When you break up in a small town.
