    Story Behind the Song
    I was hurt after a relationship ended on bad terms - I'd been played and didn't know how to handle the pain or the embarrassment of it. I went for a walk in the parking lot outside of my building on a stormy day and realized just how angry I was and that I didn't want to think about him anymore. So I gave up the sour feelings and went inside to write the song. It took about twenty minutes.
    We recorded two takes on the first day and when I went back into the studio on day two it was the first song I tried, and that was the take we kept.
    Now if I could just find a band....

    Lyrics
    This will be easy – I tell myself it’s easy
    When I let you go
    I dance as I
    Sing goodbye I
    Play goodbye as an instrument – never as a game

    Maybe it’s over – maybe it’s not
    Maybe I’m ready – maybe I’m shot
    But you won’t find me waiting
    I’ll be dancing in the parking lot

    Heartbreak and rejection
    Aren’t as bad as
    I’d imagined them to be
    There’s something to be said for
    Loneliness and
    Ignorance and a moment to breathe

    Maybe it’s over – maybe it’s not
    Maybe I’m ready – maybe I’m shot
    But you won’t find me waiting
    I’ll be dancing in the parking lot

    I kiss the page
    Lonely kiss on a bright white page
    My handwriting – the script is changing
    Standing outside the grass is glowing
    The sky is growing dark
    The clouds are boiling just like the blood in my veins

    Maybe it’s over – maybe it’s not
    Maybe I’m ready – maybe I’m shot
    But you won’t find me waiting
    I’ll be dancing in the parking lot

    Not a game – never was a game
    Just like you never played me
    Not a game – never was a game
    Just like you never played me
    Not a game – never was a game
    Just like you never played me
    You played me
    Oh

    Angry and Irrational
    I probably seem full of it
    Well, I’m mad at you
    I’m irritated with you
    And I’m angry at the way this all played out

    Maybe it’s over – maybe it’s not
    Maybe I’m ready – maybe I’m shot
    But you won’t find me waiting
    I’ll be dancing in the parking lot

    This will be easy
    I tell myself it’s easy
    When I let you go
