Versus The World


It’s been a few months
Or maybe a year
Since we last spoke
You called here to tell me
That you’ve fallen in love
You said the man you were with
On the last night we kissed
Had asked you for your hand
And you thought I should know

And I remember those nights
That we spent alive
We made out in the drive way
Of that cold texas light
We hung out in bars and backseats
Until you missed your flight
And we, we slurred and made promises
That we, we never intended to keep

Play on, time it seems to wait for no one
Play on, we have the rest of our lives to live this
Down, for now, we’ll drink and forget about
All the times we never followed through

Well it’s been a long time, and I hope you can forgive me
My mother always told me
Well, don’t run around breaking young girls hearts
But a young man drank whiskey, he will do what he do
He won’t won’t ask permission
But he’ll, he’ll beg forgiveness

And I remember those nights
That we spent alive
We made out in the photo booth
Of the social in orlando
We hung out in bars and backseats
Until I almost missed my bus
And we, we slurred and made promises
That we, we never intended to keep

Play on, time it seems to wait for no one
Play on, we have the rest of our lives to live this
Down, for now, we’ll drink and forget about
All the times we never followed through

And I remember those nights
That we spent alive
We woke, woke up in dallas
But I went to sleep, alone across state lines
We shared a bottle, watched the sun come up
Then we slurred and made promises
That we never intended to keep

Play on, times it seems to wait for no one
Play on, we have the rest of our lives to live this
Down, for now, let's drink and forget about
All the times we never followed through

I said tonight let's drink and forget about
All the times we will never follow through
