Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Should I? Could I?

Have said the wrong things right

A thousand times

If I could just rewind

I see it in my mind

If I could turn back time

You'd still be mine

[Verse 2]

You cried, I died

I should have shut my mouth

Things headed south and

As the words slipped off my tongue

They sounded dumb

If this old heart could talk

It'd say, "You're the one"

[PreChorus]

I'm wasting time

When I think about it

[Chorus]

I should have drove all night

Would have run all the lights

I was misunderstood

I stumbled like my words

Did the best I could

Damn, misunderstood

[Verse 3]

Could I? Should I?

Apologize for sleeping on the couch that night

Staying out too late with all of my friends

You found me passed out in the yard again

You cried, I tried

To stretch the truth, but didn't lie

[PreChorus]

It's not so bad

When you think about it

[Chorus]

I should have drove all night

Would have run all the lights

I was misunderstood

I stumbled like my words

Did the best I could

Damn, misunderstood

Intentions good

[PreChorus]

It's you and I

Just think about it

[Chorus]

I should have drove all night

Would have run all the lights

I was misunderstood

I stumbled like my words

Did the best I could

[Verse 4]

I'm hanging outside your door

I've been here before

Misunderstood

I stumbled like my words

Did the best I could

Damn, misunderstood

Intentions good
