Versus The World - Crooks & Liars lyrics

rate me

It’s been a few months

Or maybe a year

Since we last spoke

You called here to tell me

That you’ve fallen in love

You said the man you were with

On the last night we kissed

Had asked you for your hand

And you thought I should know

And I remember those nights

That we spent alive

We made out in the drive way

Of that cold Texas light

We hung out in bars and backseats

Until you missed your flight

And we, we slurred and made promises

That we, we never intended to keep

[Chorus]

Play on, time it seems to wait for no one

Play on, we have the rest of our lives to live this

Down, for now, we’ll drink and forget about

All the times we never followed through

Well it’s been a long time, and I hope you can forgive me

My mother always told me,

Well, don’t run around breaking young girls hearts

But a young man drank whiskey, he will do what he do

He won’t won’t ask permission

But he’ll, he’ll beg forgiveness

And I remember those nights

That we spent alive

We made out in the photo booth

Of the social...in Orlando

We hung out in bars and backseats

Until I almost missed my bus

And we, we slurred and made promises

That we, we never intended to keep

[Chorus]

Play on, time it seems to wait for no one

Play on, we have the rest of our lives to live this

Down, for now, we’ll drink and forget about

All the times we never followed through

[Guitar solo]

And I remember those nights

That we spent alive

We woke, woke up in Dallas

But I went to sleep, alone across state lines

We shared a bottle, watched the sun come up

Then we slurred and made promises

That we never intended to keep

[Chorus]

Play on, times it seems to wait for no one

Play on, we have the rest of our lives to live this

Down, for now, let's drink and forget about

All the times we never followed through.

I said tonight let's drink and forget about

All the times we will never follow through
