lyrics

The candlelight is warm
To the beat of the music, she's caressing my arm
And then we witness a mugging outside and it
Totally kills the vibe

She's telling of how her uncle died in a
Skydiving based suicide and then
Tom Petty's "Free Fallin'" comes on
And the situational irony gives me indigestion

I have never hated myself half as much as here and now
Cuz I have never wanted something half as much as you or the sound
Of you telling me you wish this night would go on

She's so gorgeous I only
Find myself capable of choking
On my laughs as she tells of her high school gaffes
And I realize that she wasn't joking

Making out in my car
Turn on the radio just to set the mood
Then a Viagra commercial comes on and it
All seems kinda crude

I have never hated myself half as much as here and now
Cuz I have never wanted something half as much as you or the sound
Of you telling me you wish this night would go on

If I bite my tongue hard enough
Maybe this fall for you won't hurt
And hopefully you won't notice the blood
Coming from my mouth and ruining my shirt

Don't let me lose you please x2

Don't let me lose you please x2
