歌词
[Verse 1]
I took a fall back onto
What I already put my all of into
One of those classics I've heard people do
The whole, "yeah, we messed up, we made up", what's new?
And while I'm here, should I squeeze in
How I so happened to forget the reason
Me and my lover were in the dry season
The type your mother picks up on well before you
[PreChorus]
But you're familiar with it
Couldn't imagine delivering it
How you wanted to pull the plug on it
Nah, there's nothing sweet about breaking that news
And no you weren't trying to please them
You just didn't know of how to ease them
Into knowing you wanted to leave them
You were growing right into your own shoes
[Chorus]
That wanted to stroll down a street
Recalling how life is still sweet
Good thing I trusted my instinct 'cause now
I've done all the strolling to see
How it's all so much sweeter for me
Sweeter for me
Sweeter for me
[Verse 2]
I reminisce on the times
You'd pick me up at a roundabout nine
We'd pick a bar and pretend to like wine, ha
Was something sweet about you with a red
Until the merlot was empty
Don't pretend that you didn't get friendly
With the waiter, you handed a twenty
Thinking maybe the glass went up to your head
[PreChorus]
But the tears in my eyes
Helped me see in between all the lines
That were crossed on the saturday nights
Nothing sweet about kisses in bed
So I said to myself
Think about what your mother would say
If she knew you were feeling this way
There's no other who'd dream of the girl ahead
[Chorus]
That wanted to stroll down a street
Recalling how life is still sweet
Good thing I trusted her instinct 'cause now
I've done all the strolling to see
How it's all so much sweeter for me
Sweeter for me
Sweeter for me
