Lyrics
Is it hard for you to sleep so far away from me
When you know you could be bouncing between
Monument Avenue and Grace Street
You're picture perfect and it scares me to death
I started missing you the day we met
Got your mom worried that I'm just bad news
That all depends on who youre talking to
I'm afraid you'll find all my flaws
And think my heart is just a wrecking ball
If you keep making that long drive to lay in my bed at night, I'll be fine
I cant offer a lot but I'm willing to give you all I got
You see all that I have
I can pack up my life in a matter of moments
I do it all the time
I'm not what I own but I own what I am
When I say that I love you you're getting the best that I have
Every chance I can find I'm collecting vices I can hide behind.
Every decision I make starts as a choice but always ends up as a risk I'll take.
I'm so stubborn. I can't help myself
I might be happier as someone else
My best attempts at making a change ends up as just another mess I'll make
I'm afraid you'll find all my flaws and write me off as your new lost cause.
Let's make a habit of long nights
Slip into sleep with the sunrise
Good Morning. Good night.
I cant offer a lot but I'm willing to give you all I got
You see all that I have
I can pack up my life in a matter of moments
I do it all the time
I'm not what I own but I own what I am
When I say that I love you you're getting the best that I have
