Wake up sweetheart
The pages of our lives
Won't write themselves
We're too far
Away from everything
Away from ourselves
The journeys that we have
Play like movie screens
We wash away
From them
Can we just make this last
I've got twenty bucks somewhere
And I'm about to let you in
Just listen up
Yeah just listen
Take me far from here
I'm freaking out in the worst ways
I just want you here
All that I ask of you is that you stay
These words and melodies
Will never be the same when you're away
And all I want is
When they're singing your song tonight
Just listen
I'm not settling
I'm not settling x2
Remember all our times alone
Staying up til five
Talking on the phone
I've got a grand proposition for you
And I hope you take it
(Yeah just take it)
So dance your heart out
Your words from your mouth
Keep telling me to stay
But even if they didn't I probably would've anyway
Just listen up
Yeah just listen
Take me far from here
I'm freaking out in the worst ways
I just want you here
All that I ask of you is that you stay
These words and melodies
Will never be the same when you're away
And all I want is
When they're singing your song tonight
Just listen
I've got twenty dollars
And you've got your heart on my sleeve
Take it from me
I've got these problems
But it's alright when you're with me
Yeah take it from me
I've got twenty dollars
And a blanket in the back
I 'll run away with you
And we're never coming back
Well I've got twenty dollars
And tonight you're coming with me
Take me far from here
I'm freaking out in the worst ways
I just want you here
All that I ask of you is that you stay
These words and melodies
Will never be the same when you're away
And all I want is
When they're singing your song tonight
Just listen
I'm not settling
I'm not settling
Just listen
I'm not settling
I'm not settling
Yeah just listen
