Song Lyrics

Read my heart and say
You'll make it alright if you follow along
Had enough? Throw it away
Keeping it all, we said that we won't
Show it off to some dismay
Battle wounds in the heat of the night
Feeling soft? I hate to say
Shake it off and it'll be alright

Come on baby won't you stay?
I've said it like a hundred times
I feel my life's untied and passing into overdrive
Keep it in a tight bouquet
So nobody can recognize
And by the way I'd hope that I'm more than was advertised

Come on baby won't you stay?
But like this song I am an afterthought

I feel so far away
While we're sitting here in a similar room
And I feel so far away
Even though it's all we've been doing
About to go away
We're taking off for just over a month
It'll probably be okay
Usually better when we can't talk enough
Come on read my heart and say
You'll make it alright if you follow along
Had enough? Throw it away
Keeping it all, we said that we won't
Just a time, won't last for long
We'll feel like more than just an afterthought
Just a time I hope is gone
Shake it off we're about to go on

When you said it so fine, we started then
And when you said your all mine until we start all over

Come on baby won't you stay?
I've said it like a hundred times
I feel my life's untied and passing into overdrive
Keep it in a tight bouquet
So nobody can recognize
And by the way I'd hope that I'm more than was advertised
