lyrics
I can see now where I got lost
So many lines I should have crossed
Now I know what I could have done
Now I know I should have
In all those films that we saw
Were the guidelines of love so raw
Now I know how it works
Now I know how I could have kept you
I wanna eat with you in a nice restaurant
Take you someplace and treat you right
Wanna buy you a dress to wear
Wanna watch you wash and style your hair
Wanna hold your hand too hard
Wanna see your neck shine across the table
Wanna lead you to the floor
Ask you to dance for the very first time
Wanna spin you around, put you on display
Then pull you in tight, show everyone it’s okay
To feel how we feel
To be who we are
We were lost but that was okay
It’s a lot easier when two people feel that way
Now I’m lost without you
I see all the simple things I could have done to hold onto you
I wanna pick you up and ride
Wanna drive at careless speeds
With the music too loud so we can’t speak
But I know exactly what you’re trying to say to me
Be here with me now
Just be here with me now
I wish you would call me
I wish you would call me now
