“Erase Her“
written on 7.23.21
V1:
I stayed up all night thinking
Didn’t help I was drinking
Flashbacks to the best of you and I
We grew up just a few blocks away
So I know that I can’t stay
Never was able to say goodbye
Bridge:
Maybe I’ll put this bottle down
And walk away from our hometown
Chorus:
Letters written in pencil and sidewalk chalk
Shoulda’ made it easier to
Wipe your memory with this eraser
But no matter how hard I try
I [just can’t/can’t seem to] erase her
Bridge:
Now I put that bottle down
Gotta move on from this All-American town
V2:
‘Cause every church, bar, and our favorite cafe
Knows I’m hurting and not OK
Can’t seem to hide this frown
‘Cause our last words in my driveway
Leave me wishin’ I could runaway
Find myself in a new town
Chorus:
Letters written in pencil and sidewalk chalk
Shoulda’ made it easier to
Wipe your memory with this eraser
But no matter how hard I try
I [just can’t/can’t seem to] erase her
Outtro:
I’ll be fine, ready to move on
Kept that old eraser
‘Cause now I’m ready to erase her
Maybe…I’m ready to erase her
