I think I'm fallin' in love with this new girl
She's got a nice place west of the 405
But I miss gettin' drunk with you from a paper bag
Sometimes we drive up the coast on the weekends
And party with her cool friends at the Chateau Marmont
But I miss goin' nowhere with you up and down Fairfax
What hurts the most is just how close we got to
To the life we dreamed, now I'm doin' everything without you
If it was up to me, I'd be with you every night
If it was up to me, I'd let you win every fight
If it was up to me, you would still, still be mine
But it wasn't up to me, up to me
I got my first check, you always said I'd make it
Have you heard they're playin' LANY on the radio?
Wish you were with me celebratin' out in Malibu
I'm not sayin' that my girl's not amazin'
I keep lookin' for a problem but there's nothin' wrong
The only problem is I can't turn her into you
If it was up to me, I'd be with you every night
If it was up to me, I'd let you win every fight
If it was up to me, you would still, still be mine
But it wasn't up to me, up to me
If it was up to me, ink your name on my arm
If it was up to me, closin' down that corner bar
If it was up to me, you wouldn't have broke my heart
But it wasn't up to me, up to me
If it was up to me
If it was up to me
If it was up to me, up to me
If it was up to me, I'd be with you every night
If it was up to me, I'd let you win every fight
If it was up to me, you would still, still be mine
But it wasn't up to me, up to me
If it was up to me, ink your name on my arm
If it was up to me, closin' down that corner bar
If it was up to me, you wouldn't have broke my heart
But it wasn't up to me, up to me
