Untitled (for her)

she plays pinball
at the back of the bar
she wears 3 inch heels
and her brother's vest
she won't stand in line
but she'll walk away
and while she smiles at you
she looks away

and i dream of her
in all the wrong times
i know it will never be
but i can still wish she's mine
she only smiles at me
and i can only smile at her
because we took our chances
promises were never

she plays pinball
at the back of the bar
makes friends with the crowd
while she's hiding alone
in her wedding dress
she'll make her husband leave
and on that day
she'll smile at me
as we walk away.
