Arkansas 02:54
I think I was looking out the window when I decided this is what I've wanted all along I thought since I was a kid Flat land in every path of Arkansas And I know this drive's too long You can blame me it's my fault these are my songs I think James fell asleep in the backseat I know he's been worn out these days I can see it in his face and I can relate I wake up with another caffeine headache and I can't afford to take a break Too much to do too much to say all these days I'm barely awake but I know I'm alive but I'll stay up with you all night till we reach our paradise known as our rooms and we may argue but we never fight but when you put consonance aside I know you love me just as I love you too

Say good bye to your girlfriend for me now Never knew you could be such an asshole though I don't know why I assume that I only see one side of the real Jack There's a hole in the wall of my bedroom don't care if you hear me I'm gonna leave you Reflecting on the old times so soon cause you never went pro, never got a second chance to get gold and if I saw you again, had a chance to say something, well I don't know There's a quaint town in Massachusetts There's a beach but we're gonna leave it Take a train back to downtown yeah Never forget what we experienced seems like every day I love you more than the last but the night comes so soon Before you know it we'll be old news cause we never went pro, never got a second chance to get gold and if I saw you again, had a chance to say something, well I don't know right now I wish you'd hit me back and tell me all the things you never knew you thought you knew I could really use a pat on the back or an image that would make me laugh from you cause I never went pro, never got a second chance to get gold and when I see you again, have a chance to say nothing, well you know I won't and if I never grew old, I would be running my mouth on the corner side of your home so you couldn't sleep forever and you knew precisely what for These people keep calling me in the middle of the night and I woke up earlier in such a fright that I've been up since then thinking about how it goes, how you never go pro, never get a second chance

I'm going up to the state of North Carolina to finally see my friends Life's a race and if you had someone time ya you'd probably win in the end and some day we'll figure it out alright and we'll maybe make amends but I don't call you then don't call me at all I will ride my bicycle until I cannot feel my legs I'll hook up with old acquaintances and maybe take a pace I'll hit the road more times this year and tally all my states but I don't call you then don't call me at all don't you call me I won't call you at all No I won't even if I learn something you'd wanna know Or some place you'd wanna go Can't you see? This is more than you and me I'd rather be alone than lonely I will sing until I won't forget the words that I write out I will save up all my money until I can leave town I'll even play a song about you though it will not bring me down not if you don't call me and I don't call you at all don't you call me I won't call you at all

I think I didn't sleep last night I was busy thinking of your fight and how much I wish I could be there hearing that you're getting worse seeing you is a curse but a blessing I know it's unfair if I had anything besides advice from new york times I'd pick you up and take you home I don't think I believed anything before I met you and you were right here but now you're on your own I think I didn't eat today I was busy reading why your taste is dulled now and how your body aches assuming you're not telling the truth when you say that it's not so bad I'd rather it be me than you if I had anything besides advice from new york times I'd pick you up and take you home I don't think I believed anything before I loved you and you were right here but now you're on your own If I had anything besides advice from stupid guys I'd pick you up and take you home I don't think I cared about anything before I loved you and you were right here but now you're on your own

Every day that I spend on my guitar I wanna see my best friend I wanna travel the whole world then I wanna travel it again catching all the spots that we missed on the first go around I wish life worked like that you walk in the gas station hon to get something sweet I'm pumping gas on pump 13 I think these locals are freaks Now we got to run like we would in the old times ought to seem like it's cool to have no clue what to do next in the next act I wish life worked like that I saw it from a mile away but it didn't stop it from happening I tried to hit the brakes but someone must've up and cut em I saw the windshield crack but the airbag didn't hurt mama I woke up in this room and I don't know where my sweetheart is They say that she's okay but that she's in another ambulance I rode a different way and then it didn't seem to happen yet I turned around and took her home I wish life worked like that
