What died didn't stay dead What died didn't stay dead You're alive, you're alive in my head What died didn't stay dead What died didn't stay dead You're alive, so alive
And if I didn't know better I'd think you were singing to me now If I didn't know better I'd think you were still around I know better But I still feel you all around I know better But you're still around
She said, I was seven and you were nine I looked at you like the stars that shined In the sky, the pretty lights And our daddies used to joke about the two of us Growing up and falling in love and our mamas smiled And rolled their eyes and said oh my my my
Take me back to the house in the backyard tree Said you'd beat me up, you were bigger than me You never did, you never did Take me back when our world was one block wide I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried Just two kids, you and I Oh my my my my
I was sixteen when suddenly I wasn't that little girl you used to see But your eyes still shined like pretty lights And our daddies used to joke about the two of us They never believed we'd really fall in love And our mamas smiled and rolled their eyes And said oh my my my
Take me back to the creek beds we turned up Two A. M. riding in your truck and all I need is you next to me Take me back to the time we had our very first fight The slamming of doors instead of kissing goodnight You stayed outside til the morning light Oh my my my my
A few years had gone and come around We were sitting at our favorite spot in town And you looked at me, got down on one knee
Take me back to the time when we walked down the aisle Our whole town came and our mamas cried You said I do and I did too Take me home where we met so many years before We'll rock our babies on that very front porch After all this time, you and I
I'll be eighty-seven; you'll be eighty-nine I'll still look at you like the stars that shine In the sky, oh my my my
This night is sparkling, don't you let it go I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
This night is flawless, don't you let it go I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone I'll spend forever wondering if you knew I was enchanted to meet you
He said "let's get out of this town Drive out of the city, away from the crowd" I thought "heaven can't help me now Nothing lasts forever But this is gonna take me down"
He's so tall and handsome as hell He's so bad but he does it so well I can see the end as it begins My one condition is
Say you'll remember me Standing in a nice dress Staring at the sunset, babe Red lips and rosy cheeks Say you'll see me again Even if it's just in your wildest dreams, oh Wildest dreams, oh
I said, "no one has to know what we do" His hands are in my hair His clothes are in my room And his voice is a familiar sound Nothing lasts forever But this is getting good now
He's so tall and handsome as hell He's so bad but he does it so well And when we've had our very last kiss My last request, it is
Say you'll remember me Standing in a nice dress Staring at the sunset, babe Red lips and rosy cheeks Say you'll see me again Even if it's just in your wildest dreams, oh Wildest dreams, oh
This night is sparkling, don't you let it go Don't you let it go
This night is flawless, don't you let it go Don't you let it go
This night is flawless, don't you let it go Don't you let it go
This night is flawless, don't you let it go

In your wildest dreams, oh Wildest dreams, oh Wildest dreams, oh In your wildest dreams, oh
I shined your shoes I poured the wine I gave you all of my time
I patched your fake smile Against your friends Which apparently is a crime
I gave you space You took my place And gave it to her
But life's too long To waste it all loving a liar
And when love hands me matches now I'm gonna burn it down
I keyed her car Got my guitar And wrote this damn song
Look what you've found She's been around I hear the lines long
And don't you tell me To be nice I'm not a nice girl
She died from complications Of the things you told her
So when love hands me matches now I'm gonna burn it down
Ain't it funny You said honey You meant sitting duck Well I say cheater, liar, truck on fire, loser, leaver, deceiver Just a few I've thought of
And when love hands me matches now 'Gonna burn it down I'm gonna burn it down Oh yeah Gonna burn it, burn it, burn it down
Matches, now
Me And Britney Me and britney used to sip on the front porch Drinking lemonade Talk about things no one else was ever supposed to hear In a summer shade She said she was gonna be a moviestar And I said she was crazy Catching dreams and fireflies in a jar Just me and britney
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
We were babies, we were beautiful and free Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh There was nothing that was out of reach Me and britney
She never made it to hollywood But she made it to Memphis This little old town just hasn't been the same since That boy she went out with, well I thought he was crazy Maybe I was just jealous it would come between me and britney
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
She was in love, she was beautiful and free Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh She was always so much braver than me When the phone rang in the middle of the night Before she said a word I knew it was her She said "I'm sorry for waking you up but I didn't know who else to call Or where else to go"
Me and britney sat down on the front porch Talking 'bout love and how it changes things Changes people and changes names everything but me and britney Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh We're not as young, but we're still beautiful and free
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh Even when we're old, we're still gonna be me and britney Sittin' on the front porch Drinking lemonade Talking 'bout things no one else was ever gonna hear In a summer shade
I promise that you'll never find another like me
I know that I'm a handful, baby, uh I know I never think before I jump And you're the kind of guy the ladies want (And there's a lot of cool chicks out there) I know that I went psycho on the phone I never leave well enough alone And trouble's gonna follow where I go (And there's a lot of cool chicks out there)
But one of these things is not like the others Like a rainbow with all of the colors Baby doll, when it comes to a lover I promise that you'll never find another like
Me-e-e, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh I'm the only one of me Baby, that's the fun of me Eeh-eeh-eeh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh You're the only one of you Baby, that's the fun of you And I promise that nobody's gonna love you like me
I know I tend to make it about me I know you never get just what you see But I will never bore you, baby (And there's a lot of lame guys out there) And when we had that fight out in the rain You went after me and called my name I never wanna see you walk away (And there's a lot of lame guys out there)
'Cause one of these things is not like the others Livin' in winter, I am your summer Baby doll, when it comes to a lover I promise that you'll never find another like
Me-e-e, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh I'm the only one of me Let me keep you company Eeh-eeh-eeh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh You're the only one of you Baby, that's the fun of you And I promise that nobody's gonna love you like me
Hey, kids! Spelling is fun! Girl, there ain't no I in "team" But you know there is a "me" Strike the band up, 1, 2, 3 I promise that you'll never find another like me Girl, there ain't no I in "team" But you know there is a "me" And you can't spell "awesome" without "me" I promise that you'll never find another like
Me-e-e (Yeah) , ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (And I want ya, baby) I'm the only one of me (I'm the only one of me) Baby, that's the fun of me (Baby, that's the fun of me) Eeh-eeh-eeh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Oh) You're the only one of you (Oh) Baby, that's the fun of you And I promise that nobody's gonna love you like me
Girl, there ain't no I in "team" But you know there is a "me" I'm the only one of me (Oh-oh) Baby, that's the fun of me Strike the band up, 1, 2, 3 You can't spell "awesome" without "me" You're the only one of you Baby, that's the fun of you And I promise that nobody's gonna love you like me
You, with your words like knives And swords and weapons that you use against me You, have knocked me off my feet again Got me feeling like I'm nothing You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard Calling me out when I'm wounded You, pickin' on the weaker man
Well you can take me down With just one single blow But you don't know, what you don't know
Someday, I'll be living in a big old city And all you're ever gonna be is mean Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me And all you're ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so mean?
You, with your switching sides And your walk by lies and your humiliation You, have pointed out my flaws again As if I don't already see them I walk with my head down Trying to block you out cause I'll never impress you I just wanna feel okay again
I bet you got pushed around Somebody made you cold But the cycle ends right now You can't lead me down that road You don't know, what you don't know
Someday, I'll be, living in a big old city And all you're ever gonna be is mean Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me And all you're ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so mean?
And I can see you years from now in a bar Talking over a football game With that same big loud opinion but Nobody's listening Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing
But all you are is mean, All you are is mean. And a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life, And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean
But someday, I'll be, living in a big old city And all you're ever gonna be is mean yeah Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me And all you're ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so ?
Someday, I'll be, living in a big old city And all you're ever gonna be is mean Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me And all you're ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so mean?
Vintage tee, brand new phone High heels on cobblestones When you are young, they assume you know nothing Sequined smile, black lipstick, sensual politics When you are young, they assume you know nothing
'Cause I knew you Steppin' on the last train Marked me like a bloodstain, I I knew you Tried to change the ending Peter losing Wendy, I I knew you Leavin' like a father Running like water, I 'Cause when you are young, they assume you know nothing
But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs The smell of smoke would hang around this long 'Cause I knew everything when I was young I knew I'd curse you for the longest time Chasin' shadows in the grocery line I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired And you'd be standin' in my front porch light And I knew you'd come back to me You'd come back to me And you'd come back to me And you'd come back
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan Under someone's bed You put me on and said I was your favorite
And you'd come back to me
Salt air, and the rust on your door I never needed anything more Whispers of "Are you sure? " "Never have I ever before"
But I can see us lost in the memory August slipped away into a moment in time 'Cause it was never mine And I can see us twisted in bedsheets August sipped away like a bottle of wine 'Cause you were never mine
Back when we were still changin' for the better Wanting was enough For me, it was enough To live for the hope of it all Canceled plans just in case you'd call And say, "Meet me behind the mall" So much for summer love and saying "us" 'Cause you weren't mine to lose You weren't mine to lose
Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind They count me out time and time again Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind But I come back stronger than a 90's trend
Wait for the signal and I'll meet you after dark Show me the places where the others gave you scars Now this is an open shut case I guess I should've known from the look on your face Every bait and switch was a work of art
The more that you say, the less I know Wherever you stray, I follow I'm begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans That's my man You know that my train could take you home Anywhere else is hollow I'm begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans That's my man
The more that you say, the less I know Wherever you stray, I follow I'm begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans That's my man
I know that you like me And it's kinda frightenin' standin' here waitin' (Waitin') And I became hypnotized By freckles and bright eyes, tongue-tied
But now (now) You're so far away and I'm down (Down) Feelin' like a face in the crowd I'm reachin' for you, terrified-ied-ied-ied
'Cause you could be the one that I love I could be the one that you dream of A message in a bottle is all I can do Standin' here, hopin' it gets to you You could be the one that I keep, and I I could bе the reason you can't sleep at night A messagе in a bottle is all I can do Standin' here, hopin' it gets to you
