[verse 1]
The liquor store you parked at
The walk there, then the drive back
I led you on that night
You still kissed me goodbye
Ultraviolence, bloodlines
Movie theater, red wine
You broke my only rule
You turned a lover to a goddamn fool
[pre-chorus]
Jotting down the highlights
Making you up as i go
Waiting in the bylines
Now we'll never know if it was the right time
Or if we'd make it miserable
[chorus]
I get my cards read on the boardwalk 'cause i want
To understand what kind of man could leave me this lost
I recognize i misread the signs
I lived my life like i just lost
The one thing i was sure about
[verse 2]
The or the makeup
You're right there when i wake up
Little drummer boy
I wouldn't wind a toy
If half of it is my fault, the rest of it is your call
You wish it never went this far
I wish that you were twice the man you are
[pre-chorus]
Jotting down the highlights
Making you up as i go
Waiting in the bylines
Now we'll never know if it was the right time
Or if we'd make it miserable
[chorus]
I get my cards read on the boardwalk 'cause i want
To understand what kind of man could leave me this lost
I recognize i misread the signs
I live my life like i just lost the one thing that i was sure about
That i was sure about (i was sure about)
[bridge]
Sure, i could've loved you if we had more time
Sure, you would've waited this ride
Shit, i could've, would've
It's alright, it's fine
Tell me when you're ready, i can't read your mind
[chorus]
I get my cards read on the boardwalk 'cause i want
To understand what kind of man could leave me this lost
I recognize i misread the signs
I lived my life like i just lost
The one thing i was sure about
