lyrics

We lay together, dreaming with our eyes open,
Drawing plans across the wall,
I won't leave empty handed tonight, I won't let go, won't give up the fight.
You traced my life line and pulled me closer,
Bared my soul, gave you my all
Your breath on my skin it felt like heaven,
Moved together like never before.

You thought the grass was greener, so you crossed the rising river,
Find everything that shimmered, was dead and gone.
SO when you come back over, you'll start to sink under,
Find every bridge you burnt is dead and gone.

You and I, we could have had it all, had it all,
You and I, we could have had it all, had it all,
You and I, we were worth the drive, but
Things That Matter were worth more of your time.

This new classic is so unamerican, what chance do I have at all,
Wait for the engine to stall and start over, hope to God it breaks my fall.
Could have gone off to take on the world,
Chase the horizon line,
You promised forever and always, but,
forever, was always a lie.

You and I, we could have had it all, had it all,
You and I, we could have had it all, had it all,
You and I, we were worth the drive, but
Things That Matter were worth more of your time.

I wrote love on my arms,
So I could pick up the pieces when it all falls apart,
Saw my future disappear, and my past it went dark.

I wrote love on my arms,
So I could pick up the pieces when it all falls apart,
Saw my future disappear, and my past it went dark.
It should have been ours.
