lyrics

Nineteen, your eyes are glowing to my beating heart.
Oh, it seems like it is fine as my hand is moving up your arm.
And you never really know where it goes up until it starts.
I've got my eye on you. Whatcha' gonna' do?
Daydream near a stream with a winter bite.
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 from the night, in a bed with the brews.
And we're laughing out loud; we're the craziest news.
Then 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 coop.
Up my back they would climb, just as I came unglued.

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 try it again."

Nineteen, as we roll across the bedroom floor,
Your eyes, they cannot lie, as you're dreaming of our future home.
And the kids are growing up, as you and I, we are growing old.
What a crazy world, pretty little girl.

In the rain with a drink, from the back of the bar.
I would raise up my voice, you would raise it up more.
We forget that our lives mean apart, it is hard.
We thought we were close, but it still feels far.
Can we learn to get by, if we learn to have scars?
We learned 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 for regretting.
Like I never did cope for us both,
Like I 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,
Kinda' like a bullet, a hollow tip that's 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 singing along
To the song I write, to the morning, night,
And I hang up the phone and bite my tongue,
'Cause I know that me and you was just only right, but 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 roads through the life, from the crib to the grave,
We start here 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 try it again."
