Pretty Little Girl

19, your eyes are glowin' to my beatin' heart

Oh, it seems like it is fine as my hand is movin' up your arm

And you never really know where it goes up until it starts

I got my eye on you

What you gonna do?

Daydream near a stream with the winter bites

Oh, I listen to the song on repeat from the other night

And I can't picture you but I sure got the feeling right

What a crazy world

Pretty little girl

And we wake form the night in a bed with a bruise

And we're laughing out loud over the craziest news

And you reached for my hand, I was scared in your room

We fell on the floor and we started to move

And your hands were like birds as they flew from the coup

Up my back they would climb just as I came unglued

She said

If you break my heart then I'll change your mind

And I will do it again

If you play the part then I will play mine

And I will do it again

If we miss the mark, if we hold on tight

We'll be there to try it again

19,  as we roll across the bedroom floor

Your eyes they cannot lie as you're dreaming of our future home

And the kids are growin' up as you and I, we're growin' old

What a crazy world

Pretty little girl

In the rain with the drink from the back of the bar

I would raise up my voice, you would raise it up more

We'd forget that our lives being apart, it is hard

We'd thought we were close but it still feels far

Can we learn to get by if we learn to have scars?

If we learn to forgive and accept who we are, you said

If you break my heart then I'll change your mind

And I will do it again

If you play the part then I will play mine

And I will do it again

If we miss the mark, if we hold on tight

We'll be here to do it again

Wait a minute, hold up a second

Don't leave me here with this feeling

Like I'm the one full of regret

Like I never did good for us both

Like you never did pull out that weapon

And stick that knife in my back

Was I supposed to accept it

When your words are like more than just sticks and stones?

Kind of like a bullet, a hollow tip that lodged in my bones

And I can't just swallow it

My pride is more than all that I own

So I gotta give it away

And some of the times I'm all the way wrong

But can't you see past me and see my fucked up home?

That made me the meanest, the Devil is just singin' along

To the song I write, till I'm alone at night

And I hang up the phone and bite my tongue

'Cause I know that me and you is just only right

The one, one, one, one

It's a cry from the past, we have been through a lot

Every year has been great and a few have been tough

And your kids, they will reach for the stars up above

We'll sit and relax as we're cheering them on

All the ropes, to the light from the crib to the grave

We started alone, in the end we're okay

You said

If you break my heart then I'll change your mind

And I will do it again

If you play the part then I will play mine

And I will do it again

If we miss the mark, if we hold on tight

We'll be here to do it again
