Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna pull you in close
Gonna wrap you up tight
Gonna play with the braids
That you came here with tonight
I'm gonna hold your face
And toast the snow that fell
Because friends don't waste wine
When there's words to sell
[Verse 2]
I feel like love is in the kitchen
With a culinary eye
I think he's making something special
And I'm smart enough to try
You don't trust yourself
For at least one minute each day
Well you should trust in this girl
'Cause loving is coming our way
[Verse 3]
If you can fix me up, girl
We'll go a long way
If you can fix me up, girl
We'll go a long way
[Verse 4]
(Take my love in real small doses) I'll stand by all this drinking
If it helps me through these days
It takes a long time just to get this all straight
I'll showcase on Route 7 when I find the right place
It takes a long time just to get this all straight
In my mind this is my free time
[Verse 5]
Because friends don't waste wine
When there's words to sell
[Verse 6]
If you can fix me up, girl
We'll go a long way
If you can fix me up, girl
We'll go a long way
[Verse 7]
I'll stand by all this drinking if it helps me through these days
I spent a long time corresponding in my own way
I'll showcase on Route 7 when I find the right place
It takes a long time just to get this all straight
In my mind this is my free time
To let it all away
[Verse 8]
Spend it all today
Spend it all today
[Verse 9]
It took time then I found you
It took time then I found you
It took time then I found you
It took time then I found you
