Annie, are you coming this way
Cause if you want to meet me in New Orleans
We can catch up on the places you've been
And not even once will I mention that I missed your laugh
You're timid when you're speaking of him
You said he's well on his way to be a father someday
Then your lips crack a smile with your eyes on the floor
Oh Annie, are you doing okay
Cause you won't tell the truth about that newest bruise
Said you're saving up to leave one day
But he doesn't know if he's ever going to leave the state
And I saw you scrape a tear from your eye
Then you changed the conversation as if I wouldn't know
Then you zipped up your coat and said 'I'll see you around'
Now you're settled in a place in New York
Said it's about time that you found your life
And you got another pair of running shoes
And the balcony view was such a gorgeous sight
