lyrics
(amp buzz, a pick scrapes a string) Your ring is in the kitchen drawer With coupons we never used There's still a dent in the car door From the night I didn't move (didn't move, didn't move) I drive past your mother's place I take the long way home (the long way, the long way) I keep the dent in the door (keep it!) I keep the dent in the door So I remember what we were before I keep the dent in the door I keep the dent in the door (what was it for?) The insurance guy said cheap to fix A hundred bucks, an afternoon Some things you leave broken on purpose Like me, like us, like June (like June) I keep the dent in the door (keep it!) I keep the dent in the door So I remember what we were before I keep the dent in the door I keep the dent in the door You hit the wheel, I hit the frame (quiet, quiet) We both walked off and took the blame (walked off, walked off) I keep the dent in the door! I keep the dent in the door! So I remember what we were before I keep the dent in the door I keep the dent in the door A hundred bucks, an afternoon (but I keep it, I keep it)
