19, your eyes are glowing to my beating heart
Oh, it seems like it is fine as my hand is moving up your arm
And you never really know where it goes up until it starts
I got my eye on you, what you gonna do?
Daydream near a stream with the linear bites
Oh, I listen to the song on repeat from the other night
And I can't picture you, but I sure got the feeling right
What a crazy world, pretty little girl
And we wake from the night in a bed with a bruise
And we're laughing out loud over the craziest news
And you reached for my hand, I was scared in your room
We fell on the floor and we started to move
And your hands were like birds as they flew from the coop
Up my back, they would climb just as I came unglued
She said, "If you break my heart, then I'll change your mind
And I will do it again"
If you play the part, then I will play mine
And I will do it again
If we miss the mark, if we hold on tight
We'll be there to try it again
♪
19, as we roll across the bedroom floor
Your eyes, they cannot lie, as you're dreaming of our future home
And the kids are growing up, as you and I, we are growing old
What a crazy world, pretty little girl
In the rain, with the drink from the back of the bar
I would raise up my voice, you would raise it up more
We'd forget that our lives being apart, it is hard
We'd thought we were close, but it still feels far
Can we learn to get by if we learn to have scars?
If we learn to forgive and accept who we are?
She said, "If you break my heart, then I'll change your mind
And I will do it again"
If you play the part, then I will play mine
And I will do it again
If we miss the mark, if we hold on tight
We'll be here to do it again
Wait a minute, hold up a second, don't leave me here with this feeling
Like I'm the one full of regret and like I never did good for us both
Like you never did pull out that weapon and stick that knife in my back
Was I supposed to accept it when your words are like
More than just sticks and stones, kinda like a bullet?
A hollow tip that lodged in my bones, and I can't just swallow it
My pride is more than all that I own, so I gotta give it away
And some of the times, I'm all the way wrong
But can't you see past me and see my fucked up home
That made me the meanest? The devil is just singing along
To the song I write 'til I'm alone at night
And I hang up the phone and bite my tongue
'Cause I know that me and you is just only right
But one, one, one, one
It's a cry from the past, we have been through a lot
Every year has been great, and a few have been tough
And your kids, they will reach for the stars up above
We'll sit and relax as we're cheering them on
Oh, the ropes to the light, from the crib to the grave
We started alone, in the end we're okay
She said, "If you break my heart, then I'll change your mind
And I will do it again"
If you play the part, then I will play mine
And I will do it again
If we miss the mark, if we hold on tight
We'll be here to try it again
