Overstay My Welcome
Lyrics & Music - Jaimi Faulkner

Picked up my belongings
I left here in the Fall
Bunch of hard back books, some CD’s and a key

You still got that picture
And its hanging on the wall
From the time you took up painting in the spring

I sat down at the table
Where we’d chat and joke and drink
Spark another joint and play guitar

Yeah sometimes it got real heated
You never really valued what I did
Then you’d blow up and make me feel real small

Did i overstay my welcome?
Honey its time I said goodbye
Pushed you to the limits
Honey, was I out of line?
You always felt like home
With that laughter and that smile
Guess you wont be seeing me round here for a while

I ain’t never felt a kinship
As strong as I did
You were someone I could spill my thoughts out to
Later in the evening
When we’d had a few
you’d air the scars that I had laid on you

I guess that age ain’t got no bearing
On how wise we become
I for one was always late to grow
And when I catch my own reflection
I still see that same old kid
Who never learned to own the seeds he’d sown

Did i overstay my welcome?
Honey its time I said goodbye
Pushed you to the limits
Honey, was I out of line?
You always felt like home
With that laughter and that smile
Guess you wont be seeing me round here for a while

If by chance you hear this
And you read between these lines
I hope that you gonna find it in your heart

And I pray that you’ll reach out again
When life have settled down
But if that chance has gone
And I’ve left it too long
Wont you hear me when I tell you I was wrong

I know I overstayed my welcome
Honey its time I said goodbye
Pushed you to the limits
Oh and I was out of line
I overstayed my welcome
Honey its time we said goodbye
Pushed you to the limits
Honey I was out of line
You always felt like home
With that laughter and that smile
Guess you wont be seeing me round here for a while
