I Call Shotgun

Let's hit these neon streets and stay out all night
The best decisions happen after 3am anyway
We'll take the 101 and park off highland
Start at Dillon’s and get kicked out of AK
We're not getting any younger
So let's lose it all for just one night

I got a taste for cheap beer and tequila
But I'll never be that douche at the bar
All I got is $26 dollars, but I got my friends and that's more than enough

So let's get up and throw down
We'll drink till we're honest
And let the booze get this out
I think I'm in love with this blonde bartender
Aw who am I kidding?
I'll love whoever gets my next round

Girl you look pretty cute in your thrift store T-shirt
But we both know you paid $45 for it at urban
Guess that's why you're drinking the cheapest bourbon
While you tease some poor hipster
Building him up to get your bar tab for free

The trust fund whores are spilling their mixed drinks
I guess no one taught them how to handle their jäger
It's not like we're doing any better
Colin's been puking his guts out in the men's room stall

So let's get up and throw down
It's too late to be modest
And let the booze get this out
I think I'm in love with this redhead bartender
Aw who am I kidding?
I'll love whoever gets my next round

The ugly lights come on and I'm bugging Nick to spot me for just one more round
I know it's last call but I swear I'm good for it
I'll get him the next time we're downtown

Carrie's passed out in the booth which means I guess we're walking home
It's ok, it's not too far, and thankfully it's not too cold

It's only two more blocks til we get to our small apartment
Our neighbors are throwing a party, maybe we'll go
We'll keep the night going until we pass out, or head home once the keg floats

So let's get up and throw down
We'll drink till we're honest
And let the booze get this out
I think I'm in love with the girl on Dan's sofa
Aw who am I kidding?
I'll love whoever gets my next round

I can’t help but think back to those nights spent wasted
In that town we hated
Passing the nights driving around wreaking havoc
Without consequence
We were young and reckless laughing and drinking the night away
Taking those minutes for granted
We would do anything just to feel alive

Now time has passing
Innocence is fading
But I’ll always remember all those times

Summer nights, passing time, getting caught up in it
Time of our lives, in our minds, what if all this was it
Now we’re grown, out on our own, we’ll be gone before we know
So let’s live tonight like it’s our last, we’ll give it one more go

I remember all our road trips, with no cash
Barely enough for gas, but always enough for a six-pack
Age 25, at 18, we had the worst fake Ids
Take me back to St. Augustine, Daytona Beach, everywhere in between
I’ll always keep those memories close to me

Now time has passing
Innocence is fading
But I’ll always remember all those times

Summer nights, passing time, getting caught up in it
Time of our lives, in our minds, what if this was it
Now we’re grown, out on our own, we’ll be gone before we know
So let’s live tonight like it’s our last, we’ll give it one more go

I can see us sitting in those driveways planning
How we would pack it up and run away some day
813 in our rear views fading
Thinking ‘we finally made it’
It’s funny how things, they turn around

Now how do I get back to those summer nights
Those natty lights
We’d stay up until we saw the morning light
Passing out with all my favorite memories

Summer nights, passing time, getting caught up in it
Time of our lives, in our minds, what if this was it
Now we’re grown, out on our own, we’ll be gone before we know
So let’s live tonight like it’s our last, we’ll give it one more go

I’ve been thinking lately,
My friends must be thinking that I’m crazy
But this girl’s amazing;
You can see it in how happy that she makes me
That’s not even the best part;
I love it when she leaves love notes on my car
I should have known from the start,
This girl has completely stolen my heart

Tell me what you’re thinking
What’s running through your mind?
Is this all a daydream,
I’m feeling so alive
Cause when I’m here with you,
You’re all I’ll ever need
I hope this never ends
You’re my favorite memory

Sweet summer mornings, I’m laughing when I hear you slightly snoring
And I’m content now; we can just lie around and watch the world out from your bedroom
Spring crush, summer love,
We’ll take over this beach side town
Riding bikes, staying out,
We don’t answer to anyone
We kiss in the moonlight,
and for once everything’s all right

Tell me what you’re thinking
What’s running through your mind?
Is this all a daydream, I’m feeling so alive
Cause when I’m here with you, you’re all I’ll ever need
I hope this never ends
You’re my favorite memory

I’m thinking back to the day we met
And how the summer sun shined on your skin
And I’ll never forget those words you said
The morning after I woke up in your bed

Tell me what you’re thinking
What’s running through your mind?
Is this all a daydream, I’m feeling so alive
Cause when I’m here with you, you’re all I’ll ever need
I hope this never ends
You’re my favorite memory

Another weekend as we head eastbound
It’s the summertime in my favorite town
Spend my nights on 1st and 3rd
Wasting time and chasing those girls

We were drunk and so in love
There was never such a thing as far too much
Those summer flings never meant a thing
We were just kids we were living the dream

We only live for right now
Tomorrow’s so far away
So we’ll raise this glass
As we sing,

We’re the kings and queens
Of the seaside town
A summer in Duval was all that we need
Staying up all night
Closing the bars down
We ruled the late night scene
I’ll always remember
Summer nights and warm Atlantic wind
I’ll always remember

Sun rising over the pier
Was our blinding reminder that the morning is here
We ride home, just to do it again
I smile remembering finding sand in my bed
Riding bikes, open container laws ignored
Late night runs to the local liquor store
Hurricane warnings don’t mean a thing
Just another reason to throw a party

We only live for right now
Tomorrow’s so far away
So we’ll raise this glass
As we sing,

We’re the kings and queens
Of the seaside town
A summer in Duval was all that we need
Staying up all night
Closing the bars down
We rule this late night scene
I’ll always remember
Fireworks and our sunburned skin
I’ll always remember

Years from now we’ll have grown up and moved on with our lives
So let’s raise our glass and live it up like it’s our last night

We only live for right now
Tomorrow’s so far away
So we’ll make a toast
As we sing,
We’ll sing at the top of our lungs

We’re the kings and queens
Of the seaside town
A summer in Duval was all that we need
Staying up all night
Closing the bars down
We rule this late night scene
I’ll always remember
Stealing kisses under moonlit skies
I’ll always remember
A lifetime of summer memories

You and I,
Just two people in the wrong place, wrong time
Falling for your lies, just another case of the blind leading the blind

Come to find,
You had other intentions running through your mind
It’s pretty clear to me one of us wasn’t gonna make it out alive

You kept pulling me back in, but not again
I’m stepping up and cutting the cord
Before you have a chance to make a move
Dragging me to that spot we’ve been in a million times before

Those summer nights
Intuition blocked by all these Natty Lights
With no time to defend myself you took me by surprise
By late July I was nothing but an afterthought in your mind
I was back at the bar ordering round after round to leave it all behind

You kept pulling me back in, but not again
I’m stepping up and cutting the cord
Before you have a chance to make a move
Dragging me to that spot we’ve been in a million times before

You were one of a kind thought you were so unique
But when I look back now, I was just being so naïve
From your smile and your laugh I’ve seen these tricks
A million times before you’re just an old routine
This is the last song
I’m tired of giving you any more time

You and I,
Just two people in the wrong place, wrong time
Falling for your lies, just another case of the blind leading the blind

Don't get comfortable being by my side tonight
I only keep you close because you keep this pen alive
I'll say goodbye, but I'll mean good night
If I leave I promise that I'll never write
You're the last thing I need in my life

Every day you don't spend with me
Is for the best and I believe
You won't matter after tonight

So I'll make the worst, of everything
And I'll make sure not to miss a thing
I'm not faithful but tonight I'll pray
As I head out miles away
That I will never hear your name

My bags are packed, possessions sold
Just spare me the lines it's getting old
I'll say good night, give you a kiss goodbye
If I leave I promise that I'll never write
You're the last thing I need in my life

So I'll make the worst, of everything
And I'll make sure not to miss a thing
I'm not faithful but tonight I'll pray
As I head out miles away
That I will never hear your name

So this is our last night,
And I just want to hear those words from you
Please just the truth
But if you think it's alright
That nothing ever came from me and you
I guess that's the truth

October 12, a day that will live in infamy
I'd rather not remember but your face is a bitter reminder
You were my favorite summer fling, but summer's turned to fall
I'll be just fine without you
So pour yourself a drink better make it a double
And tonight we'll raise our glass, and toast to the death of what we never had

So I'll hit the streets, drinking this town dry
I'm lighting up and blacking out
These seven bridges, I'm burning all of them
So you can never get back to me

Don't believe I didn't find
What you tried to hide
I hate to tell you your secret's out

Last night's last call
Do you really think I didn't see
you two in front of me
Making out, making me look like the fool
I hope that he took your breath away
And to be honest I hope it was your last

So I'll hit the streets, drinking this town dry
I'm lighting up and blacking out
These seven bridges, I'm burning all of them
So you can never get back to me

Don't believe I didn't find
What you tried to hide
I hate to tell you your secret's out

It's morning, the sunlight is streaming
But I know, getting up has nothing in store for me
I'm not dumb, but I guess you had me there
I was blind, but you're coming into view
I'll do my best to not be bitter
But I think I've earned the right after what I've been through

Good night, and good luck
It's a matter of time til you're all alone
I've had enough of your games
And it won't be long til they all do too

Tied tongues, I've bitten it so hard I taste blood
It's still better than your kiss
I won't miss how much you strung me along for so long
So till then I'll say

Good night, and good luck
It's a matter of time til you're all alone
I've had enough of your games
And it won't be long til they all do too

As these days pass I'll be all right
You'll prey on the next guy, I'll laugh at how dumb he is
As the time passes I'll wait for the sound of
Your heartbreak

Good night, and good luck
It's a matter of time til you're all alone
I've had enough of your games
And it won't be long til everyone else has too

Has it really been a year??

I know it's late but just please
Can we stay for just a little bit longer
I just need a few minutes more
To tell you things I've been keeping locked up
Please can you just lay here in my arms
I'll keep you warm in this cool autumn air
The sun's coming up but all I need
Is one perfect night here in this town with you

Good night, and good bye my love
Two years spent, of dreaming and hesitating
I've used up every cliche line
All these words are blending together in harmony

I'm sorry to hear that you're leaving
But I'm sure you have your reasons
Just remember to call from time to time
And remember that I'll be waiting
With our photograph in my back pocket
The corners are frayed but memories are all I need
If I died that night, I would have been happy

I thought if I just paced myself
Waited for that opportune moment
When the stars would align and shine a light
So you can finally see me in that way
And I'd pick the lock to your heart
And friends would gain more significance
We'd shield our eyes from the spark
But instead I now have another song to sing

Good night, and good bye my love
Two years spent, of dreaming and hesitating
I've used up every cliche line
All these words are blending together in harmony

I'm sorry to hear that you're leaving
But I'm sure you have your reasons
Just remember to call from time to time
And remember that I'll be waiting
With our photograph in my back pocket
The corners are frayed but memories are all I need
If I died that night, I would have been happy

And we will always have that hot and humid summer night
Where I felt it for the first time
That night was perfect

So with an empty space by my side I'll sleep alone tonight
Waiting for you one day

I hope that you find what you're looking for
Because I found mine when I opened your front door
And saw your smile and shining eyes
I'd give anything for that look again

No matter what I do
Nothing I try can get me over you
Please don't blame me
If I can't quite get over you
Please tell me that you're true
But something tells me that that's not true

Calm, cool, collected he was not
She was a dead language that he couldn't read
But he would happily spend the rest of his life deciphering
A hopeless romantic, she was just hopeless
She was all over the place, he was over it all

Fast start, slow going, she's gone

Take me back to that night on her bedroom floor
Uncover those feelings they shared before
Please somebody take me back to that night in July
Now the seasons are changing and so are you
The days are shorter, the nights are longer
The forecast to their demise

This is an endless cycle- Let's pray for summer

A long December
Feels like a heatwave compared to her ice stare
He tried everything to win her affection
But every attempt was met with rejection
The words left unspoken, he hangs his head
Silently conceding his defeat...

Take me back to that night on her bedroom floor
Uncover those feelings they shared before
Please somebody take me back to that night in July
Now the seasons are changing and she has too
The days are shorter, the nights are longer
The forecast to their demise

Sometimes we won't get the girl

This is an endless cycle- Let's pray for summer
This is an endless cycle- I'll pray for the summer

So another year, another funeral
It doesn't get any easier
I know letting go is best for you
But that doesn't make it right
I'm sorry I'm still unconvinced
None of this makes any sense
Why did I have to lose my friend

After I've tried everything
It still wasn't enough to save you
Why can't you just keep holding on?
I would give up anything
To keep you with us for one day longer
I'd give up everything for one more night

Call me selfish, call me what you will
But I'm not ready for these goodbyes
Can we delay this?
By tonight you won't feel any more pain
But these moments and memories are all around me
If this is for the best
Tell me why this hurts?

After I've tried everything
It still wasn't enough to save you
Why can't you just keep holding on?
I would give up anything
To keep you with us for one day longer
I'd give up everything for one more night

I promise I'll never forget
How much you meant to me, but I can't deny
I don't ever want you to leave my side
I'd stay up as long as it takes, a never ending night
But the sunrise reminds me that I can't control this
And our time is running out
This house is much to quiet now, every space is a reminder
Of all the times I shared with you

These moments and memories are all around me
If this is for the best
Tell me why this hurts?

After I've tried everything
It still wasn't enough to save you
Why can't you just keep holding on?
I would give up anything
To keep you with us for one day longer
I'd give up everything for one more night

I've been laying in my bed for these past three days
I'm fine in this makeshift mausoleum, pity's for the living
Our friends will start to question my whereabouts
As I slowly fade to memory, my next stop is obscurity
I put myself in this state,
Now all that's left is to lay in this grave

Lay me down, let the cold dirt cover everything
It's more warmth than you ever gave me
When I'm six feet underground,
I can finally rest in peace
Just as soon as you leave me

Take this as my dying wish, it's my last request
Just let me live out these final days
I hope that you're content going behind my back
Apologies kept behind your lips, save it for his kiss
I'm sure you tried your best to hide it from me
It should be much easier when I'm six feet underground
Wait until I start to decay, with each passing day,
It's better this way

Lay me down, let the cold dirt cover me
It's more warmth than you ever gave me
When I'm six feet underground,
I can finally rest in peace
Just as soon as you leave me

As the days become weeks you'll see
That when I'm gone it'll be easy to forget me
When this is dead
I can find some peace knowing that
You never ever did want me

Lay me down, let the cold dirt cover me
It's more warmth than you ever gave me
When I'm six feet underground,
I can finally rest in peace
Just as soon as you leave me

I'm letting go, cutting all of my ties
I'm through chasing the ghosts of what we once had
I can see the lies, our tongues are tied
That horrible truth that we can't deny
Because you know we'll never be more than friends
This burning summer romance
Has just burned out at both ends
I guess we got caught up
In these cheap drinks and bright lights

This Pacific sky reminds me of those blue eyes
I left behind, but this was all a waste of time

So I'll admit defeat but I still wonder
Every night closed with a kiss, were they all for nothing?

This Pacific sky reminds me of those blue eyes
I left behind, but this was all a waste of time

We were everything but honest
Which I guess is why we fell through
We tried to ignore the obvious
But we both knew

Think back to that winter at the beach
How everything fell in place for us to meet
Now every thing in between
How we were and currently
I'll give up this fight, throw in the towel
I'm tired of these games

But with my last ounce of strength I'll carry on
I can say without a doubt things are better when you're gone

This Pacific sky reminds me of those blue eyes
I was so blind, but now I can see right through your disguise
This Pacific sky reminds me of those blue eyes
I left behind, but this was all a waste of time

I've got a plan to leave this town
To a different state with a fresh new start
The western coast, the place where I left my heart

I'll take my chances in Hollywood
But when I leave I'll be gone for good
Stick out my neck, lay it all on the line
I have to go, just thought I'd let you know

I'm cutting all ties, and now it's time to leave
We'll pack up the cars and hit the streets
Make our way to L.A., we won't stop (until)

I'll set my sights on that neon city
We can spend our nights on Sunset and Highland
We'll be broke, tired and unemployed
But it's 213 so I'd do it in a heart beat

I'll take my chances in Hollywood
But when I leave I'll be gone for good
Stick out my neck, lay it all on the line
I have to go, just thought I'd let you know

I'm cutting all ties, cause it's time to leave
We'll pack up the cars and hit the streets
Make our way to L.A., we won't stop (until)

I'm out the door, never looking back
Trade in east coast nights for western skies
It will be a while before I find my way
This is what I've been waiting for this whole time
We'll take the city like a heart attack

"Get up, it's time to head downtown
Overpriced drinks & fake girls to be found (abound?)"
Cause it's Friday night
And we're staying out til the morning light,
Don't put up a fight

Meanwhile, already at the club
Dressed to the nines and she's looking for love
But she's all alone, she's lost all her friends
So she's on her own, she'll be waiting

For someone who'll come along to
Make everything alright

But I want to know if this is the life you want to lead?
You're losing yourself to this late night scene
You can barely stay afloat
All I know is that this isn't who you really are
So why be a part of this fashion show
Just show us who you really are
Because I can't recognize you anymore

ID's, checked and through the door
The lights are flashing everyone's on the floor
He checks his watch, he's over this place
And he'd rather leave but his friend's got other plans
Another shot, her vision starts to blur
But she could care less as long as someone takes her home
It's getting late, she can't see her own mistake
If only she waited

For someone who'll come along to
Make everything alright

But I want to know if this is the life you want to lead?
You're losing yourself to this late night scene
You can barely stay afloat
All I know is that this isn't who you really are
So why be a part of this fashion show
Just show us who you really are
Because I can't recognize you anymore

If you can't even find yourself,
How can you hope for someone else to

For someone who'll come along to
Make everything alright

Is this is the life you want to lead?
You're losing yourself to this late night scene
You can barely stay afloat
All I know is that this isn't who you really are
So why be a part of this fashion show
Just show us who you really are
Because I can't recognize you anymore

The weekend's here, what are we doing?
Let's get dressed up, we'll hit the city
We'll hop the bars, let's stay out all night

The line's out the door, but I know the bouncer
We'll skip the lines, I'll pay your cover
Drinks are on me, and you can't argue tonight

When it seems like everybody's
already trying to cash out
You're always there and ready with another drink

Another round becomes three then four
This Saturday let's get carried away
The night's not over until we're done
This Saturday we'll get carried away

The morning light, flooding your bedroom
I'd wake you up, but I'm content to
Spend all day in bed, with you at my side

When it seems like everybody's
already trying to cash out
You're always there and ready with another drink

Another round becomes three then four
This Saturday let's get carried away
The night's not over until we're done
This Saturday we'll get carried away

Let's take the time
If you don't mind
I would like to
Sing this song loud enough for
the world to hear
And if you don't mind
Let's take the time
Sing this song loud enough for
the world to hear

Another round becomes three then four
This Saturday let's get carried away
The night's not over until we're done
This Saturday we'll get carried away

We're growing up, living the dream
We don't have to answer to anyone
We take advantage of everything
But it might be more fun with someone along
So take a look inside
Isn't this where you want to be
I can see it in your eyes
Stop holding back what you're wanting to say
Baby just let go

So get up, let's go
What exactly are you waiting for
Our time is fleeting
We can't waste a minute more
Get up, let's go
What re you waiting for,
We've got to take advantage right now

We're not exactly seventeen
It doesn't matter, we're just having fun
But it's so much better when you're with me
What will it take for you to see
So take a look inside
Isn't this where you want to be
I can see it in your eyes
Stop holding back what you're wanting to say
Baby just let go

So get up, let's go
What exactly are you waiting for
Our time is fleeting
We can't waste a minute more
Get up, let's go
What re you waiting for,
We've got to take advantage right now

So get up, let's go
What exactly are you waiting for
Our time is fleeting
We can't waste a minute more
Get up, let's go
What re you waiting for,
We've got to take advantage right now

I sit outside on this summer eve
And watch the trees sway in the breeze
And I curse myself for all those times
I left my feelings unsaid
I still think back to that day
When I let you get away
An easy mark easily missed

Was it the last shot that I had?

My mind replays the scene
All much to vividly,
I've seen it all these times before
The cliche's getting old
But to me for some reason
I thought that I could win
But nothing can ever begin
From biting one's tongue
I can't hesitate
I'm relying too much on fate
Still thinking that she will wait
For this boy in another state

So fuck this master plan, it's in my hands
I'll do what I can, to win the girl
Throw caution to the wind
I won't let you go this time
Not this time, not tonight

Two years and nothing's changed
It's like I'm holding out
Hoping you'll feel the same
That you'd finally come around
And still I'll be waiting for the day
When everything will finally turn my way

What am I doing wrong?
Cause nothing's going right
I've given this a lot of thought
But I can't quite figure why
That despite al the times I've tried
And using my best lines
I just end up cast aside
As another shot has passed me by

I don't know what else to say
You're the best part of this town
It's hard to get through some days
You're the only reason to stick around
It seems whenever you're by my side
You can make all the wrong things right

But then there are those nights
Where you're impossible to read
And I'll lie awake in bed
Wondering why you're not here with me
Until I fall asleep to dreams of better nights where you're here
And I can tell you everything I've been keeping inside with all this fear

What am I doing wrong?
Cause nothing's going right
I'm giving it all I've got
I'll give this one last try
I know that it's not just me, I know that
We've got something here
If I can only get you to open up your eyes

I'll write this song
Because I could never tell you
And it's easier to sing about and
Never be upfront, I'll only leave clues
I'll lay them out in a melody you can sing along to
And hopefully you'll pick up the notes and figure out
What all this frustration's all about

What am I doing wrong?
Cause nothing's going right
I've given this a lot of thought
But I can't quite figure why
That despite al the times I've tried
And using my best lines
I just end up cast aside
As another shot has passed me by

What am I doing wrong?
Cause nothing's going right
I'm giving it all I've got
I'll give this one last try
I know that it's not just me, I know that
We've got something here
If I can only get you to open up your eyes

He punches out, packs up his car and heads back east
There's nothing left for him in this empty town
He's heading back for a place
Where things make much more sense
And after what's elapsed, it's for the best
She doesn't know exactly what she does to him
This romance failed before it could begin

So it's time to hit the road
The exit signs counting down in his rearview mirror
He may keep driving until there's no road left
But would she even care
Could he fade into this world and disappear
Would she even stop for a second and realize that he's gone

She's at her house getting dressed
Making sure that she's made up perfectly
She's not showing any sign of regret
Does she ever think about that boy
From the sunshine state
The one who let her get away?

So it's time to hit the road
The street signs counting down to her destination
She'll keep drinking till there's nothing left
Why should he even care?
She's as hard to read as foreign language
And she wouldn't even care if he never returned

"If you don't want a part of this I won't fight
All I wanted was to kiss you good night
I wanted to be the last boy that you'd need
Instead I'm home alone, waiting on the phone
God, why do I put myself through all of this
I'm not a boy that she would miss
I wanted to be the last boy that she'd need
Instead I'm home alone, waiting by phone"

And so he waits all night waiting by the phone
He's gotten comfortable with going through this all
Inside he knows that she won't return his call
So he's left with his thoughts which are much worse
To turn this night back into reverse
So he can have a second chance and he can
Let her know how he's felt for years and not be scared

So it's time to hit the road
The exit signs counting down in his rearview mirror
He may keep driving until there's no road left
But would she even care
Could he fade into this world and disappear
Would she even stop for a second and realize that he's gone

Tonight, let's stay up late,
Talking on the phone we'll stay awake
Until sunrise, we'll stay up all night
Three hundred miles away, separated by the interstate
It's a long drive, but I don't mind

I'm counting down the miles until I'm with you again,

By tonight, I'll be home
Falling back into all I know
The First Coast is all I need
I won't let anyone take this from me

Late nights spent in your room
I'm thinking back to that night in June
Memories linger in my head like
Life sized photos, silent movies
Perfect moments played on repeat
Will hold me over until we meet
Again and hopefully it's going to be
for good this time

Now I'm packing up and heading out
Making my peace with this town
The dotted lines will mark the trail that
Will lead me directly to you

By tonight, I'll be home
Falling back into all I know
The First Coast is all I need
I won't let anyone take this from me
I'll take my time, we'll go slow
You're worth the wait and I'm sure you know
That I'll do whatever it takes to work this out

Tonight, let's stay out late
Close out all the bars and stay awake
Until sunrise, we'll stay out all night
Another Saturday, last call's standing in our way
But tonight, I won't mind

Saying goodbye to the Gulf Coast
Every mile takes me further away from what I knew
But every exit brings me closer to your town
Tonight let's stay out late
Making new memories that remind me of all our past times
All of our best times

By tonight, I'll be home
Falling back into all I know
The First Coast is all I need
I won't let anyone take this from me

I said my goodbyes a year ago today
Things haven't been the same without you here
These simple words aren't enough to do you justice
But it's all I can do to hold me over till

We'll see each other soon, until then
I'll keep memories alive within me
And you'll see that you'll always be in my heart

I'm sorry that I wasn't there in your final moments
And all you had was my voice
I'd give away everything
If I could exchange it for one more day with you

I still remember the day you were laid to rest
A painful vivid memory
A broken hearted son's tear filled goodbye
Still it wasn't enough words to say

We'll see each other soon, until then
I'll keep memories alive within me
And you'll see that you'll always be in my heart

I'm sorry that I wasn't there in your final moments
And all you had was my voice
I'd give away everything
If I could exchange it for one more day with you

We'll see each other soon, until then
I'll keep memories alive within me
And you'll see that you'll always be in my heart

I'm sorry that I wasn't there in your final moments
And all you had was my voice
I'd give away everything
If I could exchange it for one more day with you

Let's just stay out all night
And we can take over this town
We'll just drink till dawn
And pass out until sundown
Because when it's just me and you
We can live by out own rules
We can leave the world behind

Nothing else matters when you're at my side
Without a care in the world we're just having a good time
I'm not quite sure exactly what we have here
But what I do know is that it works for me

I'm not looking for much but
You make me want so much more
So much more
And you make me feel so complete
Even if it's more than I deserve

So let's count the days until
I can get in my car
With the pedal to the floor
Northbound on 95
By the time the sun drops down
I'll be back in your town
Ready to jump back into
All our old routines

Nothing else matters when you're at my side
Without a care in the world we're just having a good time
I'm not quite sure exactly what we have here
But what I do know is that it works for me

I'm not looking for much but
You make me want so much more
So much more
And you make me feel so complete
Even if it's more than I deserve

More than I deserve

I slam another round as I begin to slur
And find myself stuttering
Over all my lines, all my best lines
These 2 for 1s have got me seeing double
And all the while I find myself
With nothing left to say

Now the bar's singing "Friends in Low Places"
I'm 12 beers in and I'm passing out
I hope that no one sees me
Why do I put myself in these situations
Order up another shot
And I'm face down on the floor

Why does this feel so familiar
Confidence in a bottle never tasted so sweet
I don't even like being here
So I guess I'll keep on drinking
So things are a little more tolerable

As my vision starts to blur
My attention is directed to the front door
To the stranger who walks in
I wish I wasn't so wasted
She could have any guy in the bar
But I'm hardly a candidate

Now the bar's singing "Friends in Low Places"
I'm 12 beers in and I'm passing out
I hope that no one sees me
Why do I put myself in these situations
Order up another shot
And I'm face down on the floor

Why does this feel so familiar
Confidence in a bottle never tasted so sweet
I don't even like being here
So I guess I'll keep on drinking
So things are a little more tolerable

So I'll take my self esteem
And lay it all on the line
As I spill out all these clever words and phrases
I watch as you walk by me
For the douchebag in the pink

Why does this feel so familiar
Confidence in a bottle never tasted so sweet
I don't even like being here
So I guess I'll keep on drinking
So things are a little more tolerable
