I told you I'm sorry and tried my best not to dress it up
I don't tell no stories, on my heart that's the way it was
You can search me through
But you don't want the truth
And this is no fun, we were both young, can we just let it fade away
All that I've done on the tip of my tongue
But there's nothing that could change
Trips on the school bus, the empty row we shared between us
I told you if one day I got famous,
I'd buy you the car that you dreamed of
Tickets to sundown, and every night it was sold out
But it was like you and I were alone
So go ahead and call me up whenever, cos we go back in time
(We go, we go, we go way back)
We go back in time
And I don't know if I can make this better but I have to try
(But I, but I, but I have to)
But I have to try
This irony is not lost on me, I know the years that it costed me
Times that I could've been there
But I got sidetracked in my own dichotomy
Part of me want to be there for you
Part of me don't wanna care for you, lifting me up
Pulling me down, giving me life, letting me drown
And I'm not believing, all this stuff that your mother's breathing
Down your neck and into your spine
Makin' you think you're not worth a dime
Might think it's not my place, yeah, might think it's not my show
But the truth is, you're the most precious person I know
Trips on the school bus, the empty row we shared between us
I told you if one day I got famous
I'd buy you the car that you dreamed of
Tickets to sundown, and every night it was sold out
But it was like you and I were alone
So go ahead and call me up whenever, cos we go back in time
(We go, we go, we go way back)
We go back in time
And I don't know if I can make this better but I have to try
(But I, but I, but I have to)
But I have to try
So go ahead and call me up whenever, cos we go back in time
So go ahead and call me up whenever, cos we go back in time
(We go, we go, we go way back)
We go back in time
And I don't know if I can make this better but I have to try
(But I, but I, but I have to)
But I have to try
So go ahead and call me up whenever, cos we go back in time
(We go, we go, we go way back)
We go back in time
And I don't know if I can make this better but I have to try
And it hurts just like it should
