I was a ten-year train wreck
With a last-call longneck
I was searchin', I'd been hurt real bad
Movin' on, gettin' sidetracked
One step forward and five back
Not your fault, I was scared to fall
And I don't know why
Why you saw something in me, baby
Girl, but you saw right through
All the pain, and you came and saved me
Yeah, I know you didn't leave me lonely
Weren't the one that put the heartbreak on me
Picked up the pieces
It wasn't the mess that you made
Could've left me just the way you found me
But you came and put your wings around me
Girl, you went out of your way
To fix what you didn't break
You were the star in the pitch black
Shine the way on the way back
Out of nowhere, answered all my prayers
Picked up the towel that I threw in
Took in a heart that was ruined
Showed me the past ain't a tattoo
Loved me even when you didn't have to
Yeah, I know you didn't leave me lonely
Weren't the one that put the heartbreak on me
Picked up the pieces
It wasn't the mess that you made
Could've left me just the way you found me
But you came and put your wings around me
Girl, you went out of your way
To fix what you didn't break
To fix what you didn't break
And I don't know why
Why you saw something in me, baby
Girl, but you saw right through
All the pain, and you came and saved me
Yeah, I know you didn't leave me lonely
Weren't the one that put the heartbreak on me
Picked up the pieces
It wasn't the mess that you made
Could've left me just the way you found me
But you came and put your wings around me
Girl, you went out of your way
To fix what you didn't break
To fix what you didn't break

Want Me Back
Been checking my phone too many nights
Waiting on you like a long red light
I look at me then and I look at me now
Maybe my boys know what they're talking about
I've tried being someone that I ain't
No, baby, I just can't, so
Take the sad song strings off of this old guitar
Take a three by five off the dash of my car
Take my black jean jacket, no, don't even ask
Take whatever you want
Baby, I want me back
All the things that you changed that I liked about me
All the wild-child whiskey nights, single and free
Yeah, I'll be missing this
But not near as bad as I miss who I was
Baby, I want me back
Yeah, I want that too late at the bar
Lead foot on the gas
Go a little too far, too hard, too fast
Girl, I hope you find somebody (find somebody)
Hope they're a little more not like me
Take the sad song strings off of this old guitar
Take a three by five off the dash of my car
Take my black jean jacket, no, don't even ask
Take whatever you want
Baby, I want me back
All the things that you changed that I liked about me
All the wild-child whiskey nights, single and free
Yeah, I'll be missing this
But not near as bad as I miss who I was
Baby, I want me back
Back to me back then
Back to me back when
They're wondering where he's at
Baby, I want me back
Take the sad song strings off of this old guitar
Take a three by five off the dash of my car
Take my black jean jacket, no, don't even ask
Take whatever you want
Baby, I want me back
All the things that you changed that I liked about me
All the wild-child whiskey nights, single and free
Yeah, I'll be missing this
But not near as bad as I miss who I was
Baby, I want me back
Baby, I want me back
Baby, I want me back
I want me back
Waiting on you like a long red light
I look at me then and I look at me now
Maybe my boys know what they're talking about

What Alone Looks Like
If I saw you in a bar, someone else's arms
It would break my heart but I'd try to be happy
Knowing that you're happy
But why would I even try to hide
What I feel inside, girl, when you look at me?
I think I'd go crazy, nothing could save me
Thinking you hate me would break me in two
Baby, I don't wanna know what alone looks like
Staring at my phone in the middle of the night
In a king-sized bed, baby, cold as ice
I don't wanna know what alone looks like
I don't know how to live without you
Being anything but mine
I'd be a wreck if you said goodbye
I don't wanna know what alone looks like
What alone looks like, alone looks like
What alone looks like, what alone looks like
If I found out, yeah, he hit a knee with a diamond ring
Gave you everything and you just erased me
I think I'd go crazy, nothing could save me
Thinking you hate me would break me in two, yeah
I don't wanna know what alone looks like
Staring at my phone in the middle of the night
In a king-sized bed, baby, cold as ice
I don't wanna know what alone looks like
I don't know how to live without you
Being anything but mine
I'd be a wreck if you said goodbye
I don't wanna know what alone looks like
What alone looks like
What alone looks like
Baby, I don't wanna know what alone looks like
Staring at my phone in the middle of the night
In a king-sized bed, baby, cold as ice
I don't wanna know what alone looks like
I don't know how to live without you
Being anything but mine
I'd be a wreck if you said goodbye
I don't wanna know what alone looks like
What alone looks like, yeah
What alone looks like, oh
What alone looks like (what alone looks like)
What alone looks like (what alone looks like)
It would break my heart but I'd try to be happy
Knowing that you're happy
But why would I even try to hide
What I feel inside, girl, when you look at me?
I think I'd go crazy, nothing could save me
Thinking you hate me would break me in two
Baby, I don't wanna know what alone looks like

Perfect
Whiskey-bent and heaven-sent don't make sense at all
The Running Kind and Walk the Line
Those paths don't cross
So why would you give me forever
When I can't even love myself? No
The way her hair lands on her shoulders
Like the stars are fallin' down
And every time I pull her closer
My feet don't touch the ground
Every night in any life
Everyone can see it
Can't believe I found her
The only thing not perfect 'bout her is me
She's a dream and look at me
I know we're two-worlds apart
I'm a dead end, she's an amen but here we are
Peddling down that road to forever
Settling down my raising hell, yeah
The way her hair lands on her shoulders
Like the stars are fallin' down
And every time I pull her closer
My feet don't touch the ground
Every night in any life
Everyone can see it
Can't believe I found her
The only thing not perfect 'bout her is me
Not perfect 'bout her is me
She's a million miles out of my league
Anyone 'round here would say so
Took all the broken parts of me
Hid 'em underneath her halo
The way her hair lands on her shoulders
Like the stars are fallin' down
Every time I pull her closer
My feet don't touch the ground
Every night in any life
Everyone can see it
My world turns around her
Who am I without her?
Can't believe I found her
The only thing not perfect 'bout her is me
Not perfect 'bout her is me
The only thing not perfect 'bout her is me
The Running Kind and Walk the Line
Those paths don't cross
So why would you give me forever
When I can't even love myself? No
The way her hair lands on her shoulders
Like the stars are fallin' down
And every time I pull her closer
My feet don't touch the ground
Every night in any life
Everyone can see it
Can't believe I found her
The only thing not perfect 'bout her is me
She's a dream and look at me
I know we're two-worlds apart
I'm a dead end, she's an amen but here we are

Carry You Home
The ice in the drink of my overturned glass
Slid across the table in slow motion
On the edge, one cube paused like it was lost in thought
Before it gave into the urge and kept on going
Maybe it's the kind of motivation that we needed
To turn this flirting, nervous conversation into leaving
So, what do you say? Why don't we play it out
Take off the brakes for now, yeah
Tomorrow morning, when we're both not wasted
I'm gonna look you in the eyes
And say we'll make it if we take it slow
But tonight, I wanna carry you home
My hand holding yours in the backseat of the car
Trying to keep our whispers secret from the driver
Smiling out our windows as we both watch the city pass
I swear the streetlights never burned brighter
Maybe this is just the kind of danger that's been missing
Maybe we won't make it past the counter in the kitchen
So, what do you say? Why don't we play it out
Take off the brakes for now
Oh, tomorrow morning, when we're both not wasted
I'm gonna look you in the eyes
And say we'll make it if we take it slow, oh
Wanna wake up with your head on my shoulder
Never happier to be hungover
I know we should take it slow
But tonight, I wanna carry you home
I wanna carry you home, baby
I would be lying if I said
I didn't think you were perfect
Even if this doesn't work out
I still think it's worth it
It's worth it
Tomorrow morning, when we're both not wasted
I'm gonna look you in the eyes
And say we'll make it if we take it slow, oh
Wanna wake up with your head on my shoulder
Never happier to be hungover
I know we should take it slow
But tonight, I wanna carry you home
I would be lying if I said
I didn't think you were perfect

Goodbye Again
I thought I'd seen your car parked in a parking lot
So I rolled by real slow and it wasn't you
Coulda swore I seen your face the other day
But I hate to say it was just my broke heart trying to prove
That every time I start thinking of you
No, I ain't really moved on
Hello, goodbye, it happens to me all of the time
Yeah, your ghost keeps following me around like a thief in the night
Taking every bit of gone I had, like, is it really the end?
Before I know it's got me outta my mind
Saying hello to your goodbye again, again
I thought I heard you say my name yesterday
Took a breath, turned around, found out it wasn't you
Thought I felt you last night by myself
Knowing good and damn well I'm only lying to
This missing you beating in my chest
Screaming in my head
Hello, goodbye, it happens to me all of the time
Yeah, your ghost keeps following me around like a thief in the night
Taking every bit of gone I had, like, is it really the end?
Before I know it's got me outta my mind
Saying hello to your goodbye again
In and around every corner
Kinda wanna call up your number
No, I ain't getting no closer to closure
Hello, goodbye, it happens to me all of the time
Yeah, your ghost keeps following me around like a thief in the night
Taking every bit of gone I had, like, is it really the end?
Before I know it's got me outta my mind
Saying hello to your goodbye again
(Hello to your goodbye again)
So I rolled by real slow and it wasn't you
Coulda swore I seen your face the other day
But I hate to say it was just my broke heart trying to prove

Not of This Earth
I don't have to look, babe
I don't have to search
I finally found something
Not of this earth
It's deeper than oceans
Sweeter than words
The way that you love me
It's not of this earth
I swear to God it's like He made you for me
Feels like heaven when we're face to face
'Cause when you're crashing like a wave into my arms
All the pain inside my heart is washed away
Yeah, I walked to the edge of desire
And I swam to the corners of my soul
Traveled the world just to find ya, find ya
And now I don't have to look, babe
I don't have to search
I finally found something
Not of this earth
It's deeper than oceans
Sweeter than words
The way that you love me
It's not of this earth
Oh, the way you love
The way you love
The way that you love me
It's not of this earth
Every second that I spend around you
Make me a better version of myself
And if you ever leave this life before I do
Wouldn't give my love to no, nobody else, oh, no
Yeah, I walked to the edge of desire
And I swam to the corners of my soul
Traveled the world just to find ya, find ya
And now I don't have to look, babe
I don't have to search

Not of this earth
It's deeper than oceans
Sweeter than words
The way that you love me
It's not of this earth
Oh, the way you love

The way that you love me

Oh, the way you love
The way you love
The way that you love me

Wish I Never Felt
Damn, rock bottom hits different this time
I've never felt it falling from cloud nine
They say the crash is always worth the high
But I'm losing my mind
I'm closing my eyes at night, but I ain't sleeping
The forever I saw I can't unsee it
I wish I never went down to that bar
I wish I never walked you back to your car
Yeah, I should've kept my heart to myself
'Cause girl I've spend too many days
Feeling things I wish I never felt
Girl, you were somethin' else
I didn't know an angel knew how to drag you through hell
I drank you from the bottle, should've left it on the shelf
It turns out whiskey ain't Novocain
I'm feeling things I wish I never felt
(I wish I never felt)
Past, I've been spending every minute in the past
Wish I could hate you and the memories were bad
I was good without the best I ever had
There ain't no going back, no going back
Through that door I didn't see closin'
I'm feeling like this empty glass I'm holdin'
I wish I never went down to that bar
I wish I never walked you back to your car
Yeah, I should've kept my heart to myself
'Cause girl I've spend too many days
Feeling things I wish I never felt
Girl, you were somethin' else
I didn't know an angel knew how to drag you through hell
I drank you from the bottle, should've left it on the shelf
It turns out whiskey ain't Novocain
I'm feeling things I wish I never felt
(I wish I never felt)
I wish I never felt the touch of your skin
I wish I never heard my name from your lips
'Cause I wish I never went down to that bar
I wish I never walked you back to your car
Yeah, I should've kept my heart to myself
'Cause girl I've spend too many days
Feeling things I wish I never felt

Faith
I lost Hope on a Friday night
Watch her walk away under neon lights
I found Grace, almost made her mine
Had to cut her off at closing time
I let a few good ones go
Been lost down a few dark roads
Yeah, but everything changed
As soon as you told me your name
Tonight, I need a little Faith
Mama said she prays for me
I quit running around, get to settling down
'Cause I can't keep these party girls away from me
Walkin', lookin' like some angels till their horns come out
I could have my pick, go up and down that list
Of the names that I let drive me crazy
Aw, but now I see, baby, all I need is somebody to save me
I lost Hope on a Friday night
Watch her walk away under neon lights
I found Grace, almost made her mine
Had to cut her off at closing time
I let a few good ones go
Been lost down a few dark roads
Yeah, but everything changed
As soon as you told me your name
Tonight, I need a little Faith
Sweeter than a Sunday hymn
All this time, baby, tell me, where the hell you been?
I was lost in the valley, been a long weekend
Then you walked up in the bar, made it all make sense, yeah
Take your hand, lemme take you home
You're the one I ain't letting go
I lost Hope on a Friday night
Watch her walk away under neon lights
I found Grace, almost made her mine
Had to cut her off at closing time
I let a few good ones go
Been lost down a few dark roads
Yeah, but everything changed
As soon as you told me your name
Tonight, I need a little Faith
Little Faith in my hands, little Faith in my heart
Dancing all over me in the back of the bar
Bringing me to my knees, baby, don't make me wait
'Cause tonight, I need a little Faith
Yeah, tonight, I need a little Faith
Yeah, tonight, I need a little Faith
Watch her walk away under neon lights
I found Grace, almost made her mine
Had to cut her off at closing time
I let a few good ones go
Been lost down a few dark roads
Yeah, but everything changed
As soon as you told me your name

I let a few good ones go
Been lost down a few dark roads
Yeah, but everything changed
As soon as you told me your name
Tonight, I need a little Faith
Sweeter than a Sunday hymn
All this time, baby, tell me, where the hell you been?
I was lost in the valley, been a long weekend
Then you walked up in the bar, made it all make sense, yeah
Take your hand, lemme take you home
You're the one I ain't letting go
I lost Hope on a Friday night
Watch her walk away under neon lights
I found Grace, almost made her mine
Had to cut her off at closing time
I let a few good ones go
Been lost down a few dark roads
Yeah, but everything changed
As soon as you told me your name
Tonight, I need a little Faith
Little Faith in my hands, little Faith in my heart
Dancing all over me in the back of the bar
Bringing me to my knees, baby, don't make me wait
'Cause tonight, I need a little Faith
Yeah, tonight, I need a little Faith
Yeah, tonight, I need a little Faith

Bittersweet
Bittersweet, like the wine that you were drinking
The first time that you kissed me
Laid back in my backseat
Bittersweet, like the last sunset of summer
And the stars that we were under
When you swore you'd never leave
Maybe one day we'll sit down and have a beer and talk about it
Maybe that'll be the first time we can both be honest
What went right and what went wrong
But the last line of the song of you and me
Is always gonna be bittersweet
Bittersweet, when I heard that you were happy
Didn't think that it would get me, but it did
Bittersweet is how it ends
We can't be lovers, can't be friends
Can't go back to us again
That's how it is
Maybe one day we'll sit down and have a beer and talk about it
Maybe that'll be the first time we can both be honest
What went right and what went wrong
But the last line of the song of you and me
Is always gonna be bittersweet, yeah
Oh, it's always gonna be bittersweet
Maybe I wish I could hate you
Maybe I wish you could love me
But baby, we're somewhere in between
Bittersweet, yeah
Maybe one day we'll sit down and have a beer and talk about it
Maybe that'll be the first time we can both be honest
What went right and what went wrong
But the last line of the song of you and me
Is always gonna be bittersweet
Yeah, bittersweet
The first time that you kissed me
Laid back in my backseat
Bittersweet, like the last sunset of summer
And the stars that we were under
When you swore you'd never leave
Maybe one day we'll sit down and have a beer and talk about it
Maybe that'll be the first time we can both be honest
What went right and what went wrong
But the last line of the song of you and me
Is always gonna be bittersweet
Bittersweet, when I heard that you were happy
Didn't think that it would get me, but it did
Bittersweet is how it ends
We can't be lovers, can't be friends
Can't go back to us again
That's how it is
Maybe one day we'll sit down and have a beer and talk about it
Maybe that'll be the first time we can both be honest
What went right and what went wrong

Yeah, bittersweet

Gave It All
Was it not enough?
Oh, everything we built, it fell apart
You left me here with no beat in my heart
Oh, 'cause I gave it all to you, gave it all to you
You're just like water
Slipping through my fingers, are you bored of us?
'Cause I poured my heart, was everything you thought I was
Caught between the memories of love and lust
Watch 'em turn to dust
Tell me when the winds had changed
When you didn't feel the same, same
Million ways to run away
Give me one to make you stay, stay
Was it not enough?
Oh, everything we built, it fell apart
You left me here with no beat in my heart
Oh, 'cause I gave it all to you, gave it all to you
Darling, are we done?
'Cause after this, I won't trust anyone
You left me here with no beat in my heart
Oh, 'cause I gave it all to you, gave it all to you
I cut some corners
I worked so hard to please you, but you want too much
My dollar couldn't keep you, yeah, you spent my love
I'm paying for the pieces that you left
I'm hollow in my chest, oh
Tell me when the winds had changed
When you didn't feel the same, same
Million ways to run away
Give me one to make you stay, stay
Was it not enough?
Oh, everything we built, it fell apart
You left me here with no beat in my heart
Oh, 'cause I gave it all to you, gave it all to you

Hurtless
I've been picking up pieces
Damn, you make it look easy
Moving on don't faze you, no
And all the years that we wasted
At least pretend that you're breaking
Tell me how you play it so cool
Heard you've been running and running around
Running and running your mouth lately, uh-huh
Can't help wondering, wondering how
You're good with living without me, baby
I wish that I was heartless
Then maybe I would hurt less
I'd forget just like you did
The second you walked out the room
My love, I wish that I was heartless
'Cause I know this would hurt less
But I'm broken in two
I could never feel nothing like you, my love
I've been chasing your shadow
Giving you all the ammo
Take a shot and I miss you (miss you, miss you)
Got my chest in a chokehold
How the f*ck you turn stone cold?
And I keep holding on like a fool
Heard you've been running and running around
Running and running your mouth lately, uh-huh
Can't help wondering, wondering how
You're good with living without me, baby
I wish that I was heartless (heartless)
Then maybe I would hurt less (hurt less)
I'd forget just like you did
The second you walked out the room
My love, I wish that I was heartless (heartless)
'Cause I know this would hurt less (hurt less)
But I'm broken in two
I could never feel nothing like you, my love
I wish that I was heartless, heartless
I wish that I was heartless
My love, my love
Damn, you make it look easy
Moving on don't faze you, no
And all the years that we wasted
At least pretend that you're breaking
Tell me how you play it so cool
Heard you've been running and running around
Running and running your mouth lately, uh-huh
Can't help wondering, wondering how
You're good with living without me, baby
I wish that I was heartless
Then maybe I would hurt less
I'd forget just like you did
The second you walked out the room
My love, I wish that I was heartless
'Cause I know this would hurt less
But I'm broken in two
I could never feel nothing like you, my love

Bulletproof
Usually these ol' neon lights
Are pretty good for bad goodbyes
They got some girls off of my mind
But baby, not tonight
'Cause I've been putting in overtime
Trying to get over your leaving
You're still right here on my mind
You sure did a number on me
I've tried Jack, I've tried Jim
I've tried every last one of them
Ol' heartbreak bottles up on that shelf
But the burn don't work and the buzz don't help
Been taking these shots, shots, shots
Eighty, ninety, everything they've got
But the whiskey don't kill like it's supposed to do
Baby, your memory must be bulletproof
There ain't no way I'm driving home
I'm three sheets, done tied one on
But this liquor ain't as strong
As your sweet love is
I've tried Jack, I've tried Jim
I've tried every last one of them
Ol' heartbreak bottles up on that shelf
But the burn don't work and the buzz don't help
Been taking these shots, shots, shots
Eighty, ninety, everything they've got
But the whiskey don't kill like it's supposed to do
Baby, your memory must be bulletproof
All my favorite country songs
Guess they must've got it wrong
'Cause I'm still here and you ain't gone
You ain't gone, baby
I've tried Jack, I've tried Jim
I've tried every last one of them
Ol' heartbreak bottles up on that shelf
But the burn don't work and the buzz don't help
Been taking these shots, shots, shots
Eighty, ninety, everything they've got
But the whiskey don't kill like it's supposed to do
Baby, your memory must be bulletproof
All my favorite country songs
Guess they must've got it wrong
'Cause I'm still here and you ain't gone
You ain't gone, baby
Oh oh, you ain't gone, baby
Baby, your memory must be bulletproof
Are pretty good for bad goodbyes
They got some girls off of my mind
But baby, not tonight
'Cause I've been putting in overtime

California Gold
Passing 'round a fifth where the cops couldn't find us
Sneakin' prime times just to catch a midnight buzz
Burnin' that gas till the last truck was runnin' on fumes
Cotton on a limb by the Honey Run River
Jordan's on the bank while you're jumpin' in with her
And talking them six strings and it gettin' me out there soon
All them days were like waves
Yeah, they rolled, didn't know just how fast they would go
All them nights, paradise
We were young, we were dumb, burning hot like the sun
And you can't put a price on the good times that never get old
California gold, California gold
You can't beat the view or the girls or the weather
Ain't it a shame you can't stay young forever?
Those three little words almost turned this Honda around
Wonder what she's doing now
All them days were like waves
Yeah, they rolled, didn't know just how fast they would go
All them nights, paradise
We were young, we were dumb, burning hot like the sun
And you can't put a price on the good times that never get old
California gold, California gold
Always right there in the back of my mind
Them take-you-back-home roads get to rewindin'
Me right back to that old silver linin'
All them days were like waves
Yeah, they rolled, didn't know just how fast they would go
All them nights, paradise
We were young, we were dumb, burning hot like the sun
And you can't put a price on the good times that never get old
California gold, California gold
California gold, whoa, yeah
California gold
Sneakin' prime times just to catch a midnight buzz
Burnin' that gas till the last truck was runnin' on fumes
Cotton on a limb by the Honey Run River
Jordan's on the bank while you're jumpin' in with her
And talking them six strings and it gettin' me out there soon
All them days were like waves
Yeah, they rolled, didn't know just how fast they would go

We were young, we were dumb, burning hot like the sun
