Move over love
It's not what you tell us
My heart's on the ballot
So vote for me fellas
Yeah the sidewalk sinks to suck me in by my shoe
So I will fly on away
So I can face it with you
Youth in your eyes
But tired in your cheeks
You've been wearing that smile now for so many weeks
Many months, many years, many worlds at a time
Till the end of each breath lets you know that you're fine
So come on let's try it again
Even when you don't hit me up I can tell
That we won't end up out where we pretend
Counting down through the worst when the best is ahead
And I'd take it on the chin just to choose you instead
Let's play a game
Where we guess what we said
But I don't care if I come out ahead
If it ever lights up like we all know it can
I'm sure they'll all smile and nod
I'm sure they'll all understand
So come on let's try it again
Even when you don't hit me up I can tell
That we won't end up out where we pretend
Counting down through the worst when the best is ahead
And I'd take it on the chin just to choose you instead
So come on let's try it again
Even when you don't hit me up I can tell
That we won't end up out where we pretend
Counting down through the worst when the best is ahead
And I'd take it on the chin just to choose you instead
Yeah I'd take it on the chin just to choose you instead
Yeah I'd take it on the chin just to choose you instead
