Maybe once is enough for me Less of you to keep from fading Every other night I see you in my dreams And your face haunts me on the weekends I never thought you would be someone I'd lose Loving you is a pain I choose I still want to fight for you I still want to fight for you Pull you clean from the recesses of my mind Lay it out for all those to find So when you see my heart in the light Know that I can't give up this fight I never thought you would be someone I'd lose Loving you is a pain I choose I still want to fight for you I still want to fight for you

I poured my love into the wrong glass Pour the contents out Your ice melted way too fast I'm just a watered-down version of what it means to be a virgin Maybe you were meant for bigger things Than falling for a small town girl like me So go get lost in the city and walk the streets Find somebody who loves you as much as me Well just try to let me be I'm only nineteen I fell at your feet I'm only nineteen Soon the feeling surpasses the memory Your body shook my mind into believing That we were meant for something and you were meant to love me I'd rather stay behind than live a life without you ahead of me Oh just try to let me be I'm only nineteen I don't know everything I'm only nineteen I poured my love into the wrong glass Pour the contents out Your ice melted way too fast I'm just a watered-down version of what it means to be a virgin

Cannon Beach 03:46
Sweetie in summertime we'll drive to the beach and lay our palms in the sand You don't have to whistle lies between your teeth I'm doing the best I can Waves break into new days Won't you stay the way you were when you were eight? When your eyes don't open anymore, I'll be in your reach I'll be waiting by the blue screen door and we'll go walking along Cannon Beach Baby my throat is getting sore, can you hear me in the wind? I could not have given you more So please take me as I am Waves break into new days Won't you stay the way you were when you were eight? When your eyes don't open anymore, I'll be in your reach I'll be waiting by the blue screen door and we'll go walking along Cannon Beach

Baby I understand The last person to take your heart Broke it the best they can And you don't know where to start with me I'll make it easy Baby I won't push you I'll make it easy When you decide to trust me I'll make it easy When you decide to love me I'll make it easy I'll make it easy on you Baby we've all been there before You don't quite know what you want with me But I don't mind waiting around a little more Just take a shot on me I'll make it easy Baby I won't push you I'll make it easy When you decide to trust me I'll make it easy When you decide to love me I'll make it easy I'll make it easy on youW

Instead of wasting lies on a lost cause We can turn the tides and sail off separate docks When I'm alone with you, it's such a hard thing to do Something came between us, and we let it defeat us But I respect you too much to just take off Like someone done with trying to love Like someone done with trying to love you And when you're alone, who do you want to be with tonight? Whenever you fee lost, who do you want to be your exit sign? Cause I go away, and leave you with all these questions, yeah babe Or I could just stay, and you won't ever have to ask them Cause I respect you too much to just take off Like someone done with trying to love Like someone done with trying to love you This is the way you want it to be This is the way you see everything All my mess ups, all the times I gave up Just take me out to bleed Just take me out to bleed Just take your knife out of me
