I just need some time to sit and think straight
But looking like time is something I can't waste
I see your footsteps moving closer to the door each day
While I was thinking about things I shoulda said a day too late
Lost my concentration and I spaced out.
Woke up to you staring at the phone I'm your lap
Wishing you'd look at me like that.
But we both know your minds on the road
But before you go I just thought that you should know
You got the best of me believe it or not
For what's its worth I never wanted you to hurt
But it's looking like that's something we just got
So before you leave before you grab your damn keys
Sew one word I'm your heart with a needle and thread
Before ya go don't pretend that you don't know
You promised forever that's what I meant.
We got a ways more to go
Better let the next guy know
Before you go
Honey would you let me know
If there was something I could do?
Or did you just have to have your cake and eat it too
Fatalism always seemed so odd to me
It's too late to save a self fulfilling prophecy
Acting distant made distance
Whoulda thought.
That he distance would be too far for us to cross.
Even if we could have made the ground.
Who the hell am I talking to talking like that now
You're already gone I shoulda known
Before you go I just wanted you go know
You got the best of me believe it or not
For what it's worth I never wanted us to hurt
But that's something we just got
So before you leave before you grab your damn keys.
Sew one word In your heart with a needle and thread.
Before you go don't pretend that you don't know.
You promised forever that's a vow you said.
Better let the next guy know there's a wait up the road
Before you go
Before you go I just thought that you should know.
You got the best of me believe it or not.
For what it's worth I never wanted us to hurt
But it's looking like that's what we just got.
So before you leave before you grab your damn keys
Sew one word in your heart with a needle and thread.
Before you go better let the next guy know
There's a wait on up ahead.
Forever's got a ways to go down that road before you go
