As Good as It Gets

I spent the night in a truck stop parking lot Just to be anywhere but home And you called me as you watched me from around the corner While I was sitting in a photo booth alone And it's the sweetest thing that anyone's done for me I keep the pictures with the coupons close in the passenger seat And for a week I sort of fell for you And convinced myself that maybe you could fall for me But when I poured my guts out in metaphor You said you didn't know what to say but it's probably for the best Cause either way when I get home from tour You'll be halfway across the state and I'll still be a mess And I guess this is as good as it gets for now My friends keep telling me to just wait it out Can't we pretend for the night that I'm something worth your time Can't we pretend for the night I said that if I ever meet and you told me I meant when I guess I just got hopeless I wonder when that happened I said that if I ever meet and you told me I meant when I guess I just got hopeless I wonder when that happened Jolynn keeps telling me I'm dragging my feet I guess I've always been that way I stopped watching the sun come up over the Kankakee When you couldn't stay awake to watch it with me And I guess this is as good as it gets for now My friends keep telling me to just wait it out Can't we pretend for the night that I'm something worth your time Can't we pretend for the night I never wanted to fall I knew you wouldn't catch me Let's not pretend like I ever thought you were something that would make me happy I never wanted to fall I knew you wouldn't catch me I knew you wouldn't catch me I never wanted to fall I knew you wouldn't catch me Let's not pretend like I ever thought you were something that would make me happy I never wanted to fall I knew you wouldn't catch me At least you gave me something to fall for And I guess this is as good as it gets for now My friends keep telling me to just wait it out I'm done waiting around Can't we pretend for the night that I'm something worth your time Can't we pretend for the night that I'm something worth your time Can't we pretend for the night That for once this all works out and I'd be good enough this time
