Pretty Little Girl
Nineteen, your eyes are glowing to my beating heartOh, it seems like it is fine as my hand is moving up your armAnd you never really know where it goes up until it startsI got my eye on youWhat you gonna do
Day dream near a stream with the linear bitesOh, I listen to the song on repeat from the other nightAnd I can't picture you but I sure got the feeling rightWhat a crazy worldPretty little girl
And we wake from the night in a bed with a bruiseAnd we're laughing out loud over the craziest newsAnd you reached for my hand, I was scared in your roomWe fell on the floor and we started to moveAnd your hands were like birds as they flew from the coopUp my back they would climb just as I came unglued
She saidIf you break my heart, then I'll change your mindAnd I will do it againIf you play the part, then I will play mineAnd I will do it againIf we miss the mark if we hold on tightWe'll be there to try it again
Nineteen as we roll across the bedroom floorYour eyes they cannot lie as you're dreaming of our future homeAnd the kids are growing up as you and I we are growing oldWhat a crazy worldPretty little girl
In the rain with the drink from the back of the barI would raise up my voice, you would raise it up moreWe'd forget that our lives being apart it is apartWe'd thought we were close but it still feels farCan we learn to get by if we learn to have scarsIf we learn to forgive and accept who we are
You saidIf you break my heart, then I'll change your mindAnd I will do it againIf you play the part, then I will play mineAnd I will do it againIf we miss the mark if we hold on tightWe'll be here to try it again
Wait a minute, hold up a secondDpn't leave me here with this feelingLike I'm the one full of regretLike I never did good for us bothLike you never did pull out that weaponAnd stick that knife in my backWas I supposed to accept itWhen your words are likeMore than just sticks and stonesKinda like a bulletA hollow tip that lodged in my bonesAnd I can't just swallow itMy pride is more than all that I ownSo I gotta give it awayAnd some of the times I'm all the way wrongBut can't you see past me and see my fucked up homeThat made me the meanest, the devil is just singing alongTo the song I write till I'm alone at nightAnd I hang up the phone and bite my tongue'Cause I know that me and you is just only rightBut one one one one
It's a cry from the past, we have been through a lotEvery year has been great and a few have been toughAnd your kids they will reach for the stars up aboveWe'll sit and relax as we're cheering them onThe ropes to the light from the crib to the graveWe started alone in the end we're okay
You saidIf you break my heart, then I'll change your mindAnd I will do it againIf you play the part, then I will play mineAnd I will do it againIf we miss the mark if we hold on tightWe'll be here to try it again
