I Do And I Don't
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We started off by talking
about the tattoos on her back
and the bands that we both hate
and anything to make the moment last
hoping you might spend a night
to watch our feelings collide
seems like summer's just a state of mind
i'm gunna make sure we never fall apart
we're not trying hard enough
so this can last forever
do you remember. .
crashing parties just to get our drinks for free
you would touch your skirt and tell me you had nothing on underneath
but all these memories
are turning me about
you and i might never get this right
(but we're gunna have to try)
this promise was a fading dream
something to get myself to sleep
one more night of silence next to. . you
i'm gunna make sure we never fall apart
you're not trying hard enough
so this can last forever
i'll give my best shot holding onto what we've got
i need to tell her that i'm ready
whether she's ready or not
ready or not, or not
well are you ready or not?
(are you ready or not, i'm ready, i'm ready)
we tried, too hard for all the walls we built up
we're fake, 'cause your slipping away
like a car on ice, we're spinning out of control
like an open wound, we need some time to heal
like a cigarette, her pleasure's worth the risk
like a crowded room, my presence won't be missed
she don't care, and it's not fair
that i can't forget you
just knowing i let you
out of my life, but i'm moving on
well, she's moving on
so i'll be gone, i'll be a million miles away
i need to see you, need to touch you
like we used to misbehave
if your picture's worht a thousand words
i'll cut open my vocal chords
one more night in silence next to you
just to spend another night with you
(girl speaking)
we say all these words, we make all these promises
but are we to know, can we really make this last?. . .forever?
i'm gunna make sure we never fall apart
you're not trying hard enough
so this can last forever
i'll give my best shot holding onto what we've got
i need to tell her that i'm ready
whether she's ready or not
