Jane paints her eyes and is off to the show
Jack buses tables in downtown New York
Jessica’s reading a book in the dark, and I’m
Holding my breath for you to get home
The lines that crossed your face could tell a story
But wash them down, I wasn’t around, and
That is why they’re asking you<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
