Though I told myself that I would not, think about it I just can’t seem to see this through I just can’t stop thinking bout, all the reasons I’m gonna lose you Late night telephone talks and both of us feeling bad Cause we didnt face these things in time and now we wish we had Like I’m gonna go, you’re gonna stay, it’s not gonna work out Thinking back to our first date, box of wine Kissing you on your red mouth It’s important that you know I’m afraid I get nervous when somebody says your name You got some things that you gotta work through I understand, I’m working through them too And so we told each other we’d get together one last time I’ll be at your door and you will offer me a glass of wine It’ll play out like a movie, yeah we’ll order in sushi Girl you move me, you know you do But I’m gonna go, you’re gonna stay, it’s not gonna work out Thinking back to our first date, box of wine Kissing you on your red mouth It’s important that you know I’m afraid I get nervous when somebody says your name You got some things that you gotta work through I understand, I’m working through them too Give me one more time, I won’t try to change your mind And we can go back to being lonely And you can pretend you don’t know me It’s important that you know I’m afraid I get nervous when somebody says your name You got some things that you gotta work through I understand, I’m working through them too

You Were 03:13
You were the one I wanted Even if I didnt know it yet You told me sweetly Your head on my chest Then we did that weekly Till it was all a mess And you asked me sweetly Does it still make sense? Im having a hard time keeping, this all in check But I love you deeply You, took my hand so gently We, fell in love accidentally But I don’t ever wanna keep you waiting And you don’t ever wanna change my mind I guess we’re living in a love that’s fading It’ll be dead by the summer time But if you ever wanna start things over If you ever wanna try again You can call me any time of day girl Yeah, you still got a friend This wasn’t what I wanted But sometimes thats what you get Its all a whirlwind, the memories are all thats left Sometimes I cant help but wonder, do you have a new lover yet? It’s just the cost of living, and time spent You, took my hand so gently We, fell in love accidentally But I don’t ever wanna keep you waiting And you don’t ever wanna change my mind I guess we’re living in a love that’s fading It’ll be dead by the summer time But if you ever wanna start things over If you ever wanna try again You can call me any time of day girl Yeah, you still got a friend

Sometime 03:53
She said, I dare you to take me home Honestly I was feeling pretty lonely She reached over and took my phone And said call me in the morning you should get to know me But I don’t know I don’t know I sent know, when do you know When you’re ready to move on or At least give it a shot I don’t know I don’t know So I went home by myself Wondering, did she go home with someone else How did I get myself in such a state Used to be in love but I guess things change But I don’t know I don’t know I sent know, when do you know When you’re ready to move on or At least give it a shot I don’t know I don’t know You’re probably hung up on somebody too, I can just tell, somebody hurt you You’re probably hung up on somebody too, I can just tell, somebody hurt you You’re probably hung up on somebody too, I can just tell, somebody hurt you But if you need someone just for the night, maybe we can both be that for each other sometime

You’ll probably have kids Doing things with someone else that we almost did A couple times almost came before we wanted You cried and I dried your eyes and I drove you to the store Hauled up in a bathroom so we wouldn’t have to worry anymore No matter what No matter what happens, I’ll love you And I did You’ll probably have kids Doing things with someone else that we almost did Does it scare you a bit? Part of me always thought that we’d come back to this You cried and I dried your eyes And I drove away feeling sick Sometimes a love goes on too long and it can’t be fixed No matter what No matter what happens, I’ll love you And I did But sometimes you, can’t, hold on to the love that you’ve had Since you were a kid

Is it the right thing at the wrong time? High end whiskey, when you want wine You can waste a lot of time like that And you can never ever get it back And it’s a hard thing, at a hard time You’re in your twenties, you change your mind About what matters most It’s hard to leave someone when you’ve grown close But I just wanna be in a place, where I can confidently say All the other lovers were just paving the way All the other lovers were just paving the way All the other lovers were just paving the way All the other lovers were just paving the way It’s a complicated lifestyle Loving somebody for a little while Then asking to fade to friends What an unreasonable request And baring my soul Then just walking away from you Like I wouldn’t be permanently changed by you But I just wanna be in a place, where I can confidently say All the other lovers were just paving the way All the other lovers were just paving the way All the other lovers were just paving the way All the other lovers were just paving the way
