Pretty Little Girl
Nineteen, your eyes are glowing into 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've got my eye on you, whatca gonna do?
Day dream near a stream with a winter bite,
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,
When you reach 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'll do it again.
If you play the part then I will play mine,
And I'll do it again.
If we miss the mark, if we hold on tight,
We'll be there to try it again.
Nineteen, as we roll across the bedroom floor,
Your eyes, they came alight 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 a drink from the back of the bar,
I'm raising my voice, you raise it up more,
We forget that our lives have been apart it is hard,
We thought we are close but it still feels far,
And we learn to get by if we learn to have scars,
We learn to forgive and except who we are.
You said, if you break my heart then I'll change your mind,
And I'll do it again.
If you play the part then I will play mine,
And I'll do it again.
If we miss the mark, if we hold on tight,
We'll be there to do it again.
Wait a minute, hold up a second,
Don't leave me here with this feeling,
Like I'm the one for regretting,
Like I never did coke for a spoke,
Like I never did pulled out that weapon,
And stick that knife through my back,
Was I supposed to except it, when your words are like,
More than just sticks and stones, kinda like a bullet,
I don't tip that lies 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,
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 singin alone to the song I write, to 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?
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 the kids they will reach for the stars up above,
I said, relax as we're cheering them on,
All the ropes to the life from the crypt to the grave,
We started alone, in the end we're ok.
You said, if you break my heart then I'll change your mind,
And I'll do it again.
If you play the part then I will play mine,
And I'll do it again.
If we miss the mark if we hold on tight,
We'll be there to try it again.
