lyrics

I’m not gonna wait around to be another mark along your pretty, fickle timeline
I’ve watched your high points roll and break your purest heart and you always tend to act so fine
But I see the lack of substance that hides behind your wild brown eyes
And if it’s something I can spice up with a risk, then damn, I’ll get in that line

We’ve seen it all
The best of love stories ripped out raw
We’ve heard it all
The promises folks make when they’re standing tall
We’ve played it all in music and thinking and time
Hey just take a shot
Take a shot
Take a shot

It’s not that I fret or want to forget about all those stupid girls you spend time with
They can put on a halo with angel wings and still be from the happily wrong heaven
My teeth and tongue chatter like a storm when I hear your notes every day
My feet and lungs don’t get along from all the running I did along the way

We’ve seen it all
The best of love stories ripped out raw
We’ve heard it all
The promises folks make when they’re standing tall
We’ve played it all in music and thinking and time
Hey just take a shot
Remember when...

The day you wept
The girl I left
Our souls waiting
To mean something
The times you grew
From the love I knew
To a lady in red
Painted in my head
The day we met
The girl I kept
Our souls waiting
To mean something
