Pretty Little Girl

19, 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 got my eye on you, what you gonna do? Daydream near a stream with the linear 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 from 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 coop 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 growing up, as you and I, we are growing 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? 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 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 and 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, kinda 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 singing along To the song I write 'til 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 But 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 Oh, the ropes to the light, from the crib to the grave We started alone, in the end we're okay 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 here to try it again
