| He sees them both everyday now
|
| He watched the story unfold
|
| In the grass underneath the trees
|
| Inside a red SUV
|
| Two silhouettes and no second guessing
|
| «Is someone tryna to test me?» |
| he thought to himself
|
| «Once upon a time I was an innocent little kid
|
| And I felt like I knew everything, now everything’s against me.»
|
| Just raise your guard and say «keep your heart»
|
| You can’t get burned if you put out the spark
|
| I feel I just can’t win, let myself down again
|
| Just raise your guard and say «keep your heart»
|
| Those five weeks felt like forever
|
| He waited this whole time to see her again
|
| And of course wouldn’t you know
|
| (This happened two summers ago)
|
| She showed up with her cool new boyfriend…
|
| It’s starting to annoy him. |
| He thought to himself…
|
| «Once upon a time I was an innocent little kid
|
| And I felt like I knew everything, now everything’s against me.»
|
| Just raise your guard and say «keep your heart»
|
| You can’t get burned if you put out the spark
|
| I feel I just can’t win, let myself down again
|
| Just raise your guard and say «keep your heart»
|
| So I’d set it straight… she never know
|
| If we die today you had me at hello
|
| I swear that I loved you
|
| I know I throw that word around
|
| But I mean it, I swear I fucking mean it
|
| Raise your guard, raise your guard
|
| Say «keep your heart…»
|
| And I can’t win… I can’t win…
|
| You need your space again
|
| It’s not the right time or place again
|
| You lied right to my face again
|
| In your basement, we were wasted
|
| I always try to talk at the worst times
|
| You dated many boys, I’m the worst kind
|
| Every word I write it’s the worst line
|
| So if I hurt her feelings, she hurt mine
|
| (And I can’t win… I can’t win…)
|
| Raise your guard, raise your guard, say «keep your heart.»
|
| You can’t get burned if you put out the spark
|
| (And I can’t win… I can’t win…)
|
| Raise your guard, raise your guard, say «keep your heart.»
|
| You can’t get burned if you put out the spark |
