[ Featuring a Piano ]
"Peg" plays on the radio
I spin my whiskey Sprite around
My friends all left an hour ago
Looking for the things I've found
I can flirt, you know I'll try
And I can use all of my eyes
Flashing lights are in my sight
My old lady waits for me tonight
I am married to the woman that I met at age 16
Call me lucky, call me mad, call me naïve
I've spent the last ten years watching what it's like to be
Swimming alone and floating free
All this time I've been the ears
A sounding board after a beer
Holding out a one-way mirror
Pretending like I've once been here
But I'm vicarious
I'd like to know just how it is
To feel real heartbreak on your lips
To really know the hits and misses
I am married to the woman that I met at age 16
Call me lucky, call me mad, call me naïve
I've spent the last ten years watching what it's like to be
Swimming alone and floating free
I try my best to understand what it might be like
Without someone holding your hand and standing by your side
Well maybe they're just as fine as I
I am married to the woman that I met at age 16
Call me lucky, call me mad, call me naïve
I've spent the last ten years watching what it's like to be
Swimming alone, swimming alone, yeah they're swimming alone
Swimming alone and floating free
