Jukebox Memoirs

A song came on the jukebox
In the bar where we first met
And if only for a moment
I remembered what it meant
To wake up tangled in between the sheets
With thighs all tied between my knees
And never wanting to move from that bed

[Pre-chorus]
The words they rang too true to me
And I was just too scared to say:

[Chorus]
You could be my way out
Save me from this whole town, I need it now
(We could just leave this place tonight)
Call all of your plans off,
There's nothing stopping us, so make it out
(We could just leave this place tonight)
Close your eyes (just take me away)
And say goodbye (We're leaving tonight)
You could be my way out
Save me from this whole town, I need it now
(We could just leave this place)

My head weighed down from memories
Laid itself upon the bar
As I stare straight at my future
Seems the past was never far
The dreams came rushing back in melody
The songs and words felt safe to me
Now all that's left are records on the shelf

[Pre-Chorus]
The words they rang too true to me
And I was just too scared to say:

[Chorus]
You could be my way out
Save me from this whole town, I need it now
(We could just leave this place tonight)
Call all of your plans off,
There's nothing stopping us, so make it out
(We could just leave this place tonight)
Close your eyes (just take me away)
And say goodbye (We're leaving tonight)
You could be my way out
Save me from this whole town, I need it now
(We could just leave this place)

I was ready
To pack my bags and run away
If you would have let me
(If you would have let me)
I would have saved that day
I know I'm to blame
For all these mistakes
If I could just hear you say:

[Chorus]
You could be my way out
Save me from this whole town, I need it now
(We could just leave this place tonight)
Call all of your plans off,
There's nothing stopping us, so make it out
(We could just leave this place tonight)
Close your eyes (just take me away)
And say goodbye (We'll leave tonight)
You could be my way out
Save me from this whole town, I need it now
(We could just leave this place tonight)
