lyrics

what goes in a verse
what makes it good enough to learn
when did the sum of my decisions
say i'd always know the words

just tell me what goes in a verse
that makes it more than keys and chords
what makes it feel like the redemption
i could never find before
and then there's

(prechorus)
i could be the one to save you darling
but more than likely you won't see me coming

(chorus)
i could tell you i knew
things won't work out
i could tell you i knew
you'd be here now

we charted a course
made up of mostly keys and chords
sure that the perfect combination
would keep you coming back for more

but then we got sidetracked by wars
that started closing every door
until we're stuck in between stations
asking how'd we get this far
and she says

(prechorus)
i could be the one to save you darling
but more than likely you won't see me coming

(chorus)

(bridge)
come on you got to try me out
come on you got to try me now

(chorus)
+
so put the glasses on
yeah we'll be real good friends
until the day it ends
you're all that's bringing me out

we'll take the present tense
and make it a contest
while we're stuck in the past
the future brings me down
