Three typos in a four-letter word
We’re only laughing ‘cause it’s so absurd
We don't believe it
We could never believe it
You left just before the shit hit the fan
Swallowed my tongue and broke my hands
I don't believe it
I will never believe it
It’s easy for you

But life's too short to not forgive you, Ruby
And it's too long to be without your sailor's smile

In the shade of the money tree
I talked you into thinking you're free
I don't believe it
I won’t ever believe it
And what I saw when I measured the stars
A clean shirt and a getaway car
I would believe it
Would you ever believe it
It’s easy for me

But life's too short to not forgive me, Ruby
And it's too long to wait outside your stained-glass heart

Life's too short to not forgive you, Ruby
And it's too long to be without your night ocean eyes
