Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can't get you out of the sunlight
I can't get you out of the rain
I can't get you back to that one time
'Cause you and me are still recoverin'
[Verse 2]
So let's just try to cool it down
The fightin', this feelin' of flames
And let's just try to slow it down
We crash when we race
[Verse 3]
Oh, this is not the way that it should end, it's the way it should begin
It's the way it should begin again, no
I never wanna fall apart, never wanna break your heart
Never wanna let you break my own, yes
[Verse 4]
I know we've said a lot of things that we probably didn't mean
But it's not too late to take them back, so
Before you say you're gonna go, I should probably let you know
That I never knew what I had
I never knew what I had
[Verse 5]
See I look for you in the mornin'
'Cause that's when my mind always calls
And I can't wait to get to the evenin'
'Cause that's when I want you the most
[Verse 6]
So let's just try to cool it down
The fighting' this feelin' of flames
And let's just try to slow it down
We crash when we race
[Verse 7]
Oh, this is not the way that it should end, it's the way it should begin
It's the way it should begin again, no
I never wanna fall apart, never wanna break your heart
Never wanna let you break my own, yes
[Verse 8]
I know we've said a lot of things that we probably didn't mean
But it's not too late to take them back, so
Before you say you're gonna go, I should probably let you know
That I never knew what I had
I never knew what I had
[Verse 9]
But I know it now
I wish I would've known before how
How good we were
Is it too late to come back?
Or is it really over?
If it's really over
[Verse 10]
But this is not the way that it should end, it's the way it should begin
It's the way it should begin again, no
I never wanna fall apart, never wanna break your heart
Never wanna let you break my own, yes
[Verse 11]
I know we've said a lot of things that we probably didn't mean
But it's not too late to take them back, so
Before you say you're gonna go, I should probably let you know
That I never knew what I had
[Verse 12]
I never knew what I had
I never knew what I had
I never knew what I had
I never knew what I had
[Verse 13]
(I never knew what I had) I never knew
But I'm tellin' you
(I never knew what I had) I never knew
(I never knew what I had)
[Verse 14]
(I never knew what I had)
(I never knew what I had)
