It's been two years since the summer she broke my heart Spent a couple more with this guitar Tried to outrun all the consequences yeah but here they are I still smell the fireworks in your backyard Went to college but I didn't get far Hope there's something better out there for me but I could be wrong Maybe I was younger or just a little smarter I could say the perfect thing to get you to stay longer But I'm all out of tricks up my sleeve I'm cursed with awful timing and not good at deciding If I should stay and fight or go back into hiding But I'm not surprised that you'd leave Yeah I knew that you'd leave I always knew that you'd leave Laid to rest my common sense I confess I really let it go to my head Thought I'd find myself if I left it all behind but here I am Maybe I was younger or just a little smarter I could say the perfect thing to get you to stay longer But I'm all out of tricks up my sleeve I'm cursed with awful timing and not good at deciding If I should stay and fight or go back into hiding But I'm not surprised that you'd leave Yeah I knew that you'd leave I always knew that you'd leave It's dark outside but just light enough that I might find a way home Maybe I was younger or just a little smarter I could say the perfect thing to get you to stay longer But I'm all out of tricks up my sleeve I'm cursed with awful timing and not good at deciding If I should stay and fight or go back into hiding But I'm not surprised that you'd leave Yeah I knew that you'd leave I always knew that you'd leave
