For a second there I thought you disappeared
Expressing a momentary belief that the person disappeared.
It rains a lot this time of year

And we both go together if one falls down

And I miss you

I'm goin' back home to the west coast

I wish you woulda put yourself in my suitcase

I love you

Tonight I think I'll be stayin' here

And you never did like this town

Do I let her sleep or should I wake her up
