Get Your Story Straight

I'll move my backpack to the guest room

I'll take my toothbrush off your sink

When your friend stops by I'll make a quick introduction

And then I'll fake a phone call 'til he leaves

I'll park my truck behind the shed

So you can't see it from the road

'Cause they'd start to wonder what I'm doing here

No one can ever know

So tonight

I'm an old college buddy

Just lie

When they ask you how you know me

And try to keep a distance 'cause we both have a lot at stake

So get your story straight

Don't crumble from the weight

We'll get there someday

But for now, get your story straight

I do my best to keep it cool

I try to brush off what I think

But there's no denying that all of this lying

Is gonna be what makes us sink

So I'll just text you that I love you

Once we hang up the phone

Just keep things on silent and we'll keep on hiding what

No one can ever know

So tonight

We met at a concert

Just lie

and pretend that it don't hurt

And try to keep a distance 'cause we both have a lot at stake

So get your story straight

Don't crumble from the weight

We'll get there someday

But for now, get your story straight

Well I know your mom would love me

And your dad would take me hunting

We ain't got much time to borrow

And I can't keep waiting for tomorrow

So tonight

I'm just another stranger

Just lie there in my favorite T-shirt

And try to keep a distance

From the hopes and dreams and heart you had to break

To get your story straight

Don't crumble from the weight

You'll get there someday

But for now, get your story straight
