i remember when we were driving, driving in her car...
speed so fast it felt like i was drunk
I can't remember everything we said, but we said it all...
You told me that you wish I was somebody you never met
He opens the door, and he don't make me cry...
He ain't from where we're from, but he feels like home
You're the last thing that I thought I'd lose
All I ever wanted was to be loved by you...
I let you back in, and I gave you a second chance
I bumped into you by happenstance...
You probably wouldn't even know who I am
And light up those streets that never sleep when the sky goes dark...
Out where the wild things are
You hang your shirt on that maple limb
Slippin' through the moon to the river bend...
Wasn't very long I was jumpin' in, jumpin' in
I guess I'm still doin' now, what I was doin' then
I think I'm really happy, I think I wanna stay...
Oh, my God, am I okay?
One second it's a blessing
And the next it's already gone....
A broken heart, I'm a walking testimony
My confession is a lesson
That I'm pouring out in this song
You're my sunshine in the darkest days
My better half, my savin' grace....
You make me who I wanna be
Like a runaway southbound train
Like an Arizona desert rain....
Like lightning in the sky
Like fireworks in July
Might wind up and steal a couple kisses...
Get your digits if I can find the right line
Tearin' me down, passin' the phone around...
Like there's nothin' better to talk about
I'll fight for you, I'll fight for us...
I'll fight to never leave
We were seventeen, we were making moves...
Burning gasoline, I was on fire for you
But I just wanna hear your voice...
I'm one number away from calling you
I said I was through, but I'm dying inside
Got some words you've never heard
'Less you come from down yonder....
The man upstairs gets it
So I ain't tryna fix it
The high school football team won state...
And my best friend's mama's husband is sleepin' around
I said I loved you, and I wish you never said it back...
Take the sun-bleached Polaroid off my dash
And I remember being younger and my mother told me true...
Find someone who grows flowers in the darkest parts of you
Let the passion take us to a higher place...
Makin' the kind of love we make
But I wonder when you're drinking if you find yourself thinking...
About that boy from East Tennessee
You won't have to ask him if he loves you...
The right one'll come along and show you
And now I'm in this cold bright light
And this don't even feel like life...
'Cause I don't have the only woman who believed in me Religiously
She's turnin' it up, she's turnin' me on
And I'd play her anything she'd sing along....
I was out of my mind, she was out of this world
There was this girl
