Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, we could have made up
Yeah, we should have stayed up tryna fix you and me
But all that I know is coulda/shoulda just don't mean a goddamn thing
Looking at you, I realise
Looking at you, I feel like I'm emotional
Watching our love go stupid-crazy fast until we lost control
[Chorus]
Could you stay right by my side one more time just to try?
What if we could've been so much more than this was?
Pretend you're mine for the night before I say goodbye
What if we could've been so much more than this was?
[Verse 2]
Yeah, we could have made up
Yeah, we should've stayed up tryna fix this love
'Cause all that I know is coulda/shoulda never really worked for us
Can we get back momentum?
'Cause I can feel the tension
Do you feel it too?
Yeah, I've been up late and second-guessing, reminiscing 'bout us two
[Chorus]
Could you stay right by my side one more time just to try?
What if we could've been so much more than this was?
Pretend you're mine for the night before I say goodbye
What if we could've been so much more than this was?
[Chorus]
Was it only young love?
Was I out of my mind?
Did we really mess up?
Can we press rewind?
What if we could've been so much more than this was?
[Chorus]
Was it only young love?
Was I out of my mind?
Did we really mess up?
Can we press rewind?
What if we could've been so much more than this was?
[Outro]
Yeah, we could have made up
Yeah, we should've stayed up tryna fix you and me
But all that I know is coulda/shoulda just don't mean a goddamn thing
