I spent the night in a truck stop parking lot
Just to be anywhere but home
And you called me as you watched me from around the corner
While I was sitting in a photo booth alone
And it's the sweetest thing that anyone's done for me
I keep the pictures with the coupons close in the passenger seat
And for a week I sort of fell for you
And convinced myself that maybe you could fall for me
But when I poured my guts out in metaphor
You said you didn't know what to say but it's probably for the best
Cause either way when I get home from tour
You'll be halfway across the state and I'll still be a mess
And I guess this is as good as it gets for now
My friends keep telling me to just wait it out
Can't we pretend for the night that I'm something worth your time
Can't we pretend for the night
I said that if I ever meet and you told me I meant when
I guess I just got hopeless I wonder when that happened
I said that if I ever meet and you told me I meant when
I guess I just got hopeless I wonder when that happened
Jolynn keeps telling me I'm dragging my feet
I guess I've always been that way
I stopped watching the sun come up over the Kankakee
When you couldn't stay awake to watch it with me
And I guess this is as good as it gets for now
My friends keep telling me to just wait it out
Can't we pretend for the night that I'm something worth your time
Can't we pretend for the night
I never wanted to fall
I knew you wouldn't catch me
Let's not pretend like I ever thought you were something that would make me happy
I never wanted to fall
I knew you wouldn't catch me
I knew you wouldn't catch me
I never wanted to fall
I knew you wouldn't catch me
Let's not pretend like I ever thought you were something that would make me happy
I never wanted to fall
I knew you wouldn't catch me
At least you gave me something to fall for
And I guess this is as good as it gets for now
My friends keep telling me to just wait it out
I'm done waiting around
Can't we pretend for the night that I'm something worth your time
Can't we pretend for the night that I'm something worth your time
Can't we pretend for the night
That for once this all works out and I'd be good enough this time
