lyrics

I could barely believe the love I'd found
It made me say, 'I guess I'm all grown up now'
But a moment later my jaw dropped to the ground
She'd pulled into my driveway just to turn around

If you don't want me, I'd rather not ask
Emotions get the best of me, and I the worst of them
The truth makes me wanna pretend
D'ya want me to not ask?

I could drink a case of you, I still might not get full
But if I just walk away, I won't look like a fool
Well maybe I'm afraid to lose, to try, to get, and to have
But I'll catch you later on, screamin' from the past

Emotion gets the best of me, and I the worst of it
The truth is full of shit
D'ya want me to not ask?
Don't you want me to not ask?

I traveled the world, just lookin' around
Then she came and found me on solid ground
But that's when I heard my least favorite sound
She pulled back out my driveway, she was just turnin' around

Once again I sang a song not knowing what it meant
You were sent to enlighten me, weren't you?
Once again I wrote a song without believing in it
And you came to convince me, didn't you?

You'll leave me in the dust
But I am not as I was
I am better off because
Now the song runs in my blood
And my hope is gone for good

I could barely believe the love I'd found
Couldn't help but say, 'I guess I'm all grown up now'
But to this day, I can't wrap my mind around it
She pulled into my driveway just to turn around
