Pet Names

[Verse 1]
In the pages of books that I lent you
I’m finding the love notes you made
Little fossils to read, yeah they’re awfully sweet
But they’re painfully far out of date
And whenever I’m heading downtown
I always tend to zone out
My autopilot takes over
And before I know it, I’m back at your house

[Chorus]
I was under the impression that you wouldn’t stay
You’re not on my mind much
But you’re underneath it in so many ways

[Verse 2]
I kept accidentally
Referring to you as my girlfriend
For a while after I had to go
Only took me a week to unlearn it
Aftеr eight months of calling you so
I had to retire your pеt names
They’re filed away on a shelf
As much as I’d want to reuse them
They’ll never mean anyone else

[Chorus]
I was under the impression that you wouldn’t stay
You’re not on my mind much
But you’re underneath it in so many ways
