lyrics

I watched your face in the rear-view mirror
As we drove to Forest Lawn
For any skirmish of misgiving or recognition
Or tell you were putting me on

But you betrayed nothing, your face was untroubled
As fresh dirt over a grave
Smiling out the window, singing to yourself
You covered up what we didn’t say

You’re giving me the wild-eyed George Bailey heebie jeebies
Making me think that maybe
I’ve never been born
All you gotta do is look me in the eyes
Tell me you remember
Last November
When we were in love, we were in love

Just a couple months ago, you came to visit
When we were still head over heels
It’s chilling now to see you pretending like you didn’t
I don’t know what’s real
I don’t know how to

Feels like I’m looking through a two-way mirror
You can’t see me but I can see you
Just praying you’ll corroborate my story for the record
I swear you loved me, too

You’re giving me the wild-eyed George Bailey heebie jeebies
Making me think that maybe
I’ve never been born
All you gotta do is look me in the eyes
Tell me you remember
Last November
When we were in love, we were in love

What good’s a memory
When it’s just a story two people share
And one of those people refuses to acknowledge
That she was even ever there?

You’re giving me the wild-eyed George Bailey heebie jeebies
Making me think that maybe
I’ve never been born
All you gotta do is look me in the eyes
Tell me you remember
Last November
When we were in love, we were in love

Slipping on the grass in my new huaraches
I think to check your feet
Sure enough, you’re not wearing the pair that I bought you
Down on Olvera Street

I start checking the names on the gravestones
I wouldn’t be surprised
To find one that said, Harry Bailey -
He died when he was nine
‘Cause you weren’t there to save him, George

You’re giving me the wild-eyed George Bailey heebie jeebies
Making me think that maybe
I’ve never been born
All you gotta do is look me in the eyes
Tell me you remember
Last November
When we were in love, we were in love
