Gold, it was good for a summer It took me under Like nothing else had Up until that point Sold, he was that kind of subtle That makes you wonder If you should settle down Like everybody else is doing but Something was missing Something was always amiss and I tried to keep it at bay, call it a day Say all the books must be lying 'Cause something was missing No faulty spark with a kiss and I said it’s not in the cards, not in the stars Til I found myself in your car I’ve been sitting shotgun tryna stay awake Pointing out the wildflowers on the freeway You’re getting the coffee, you know what I like You’re all the words I’ve been trying to write Yeah, you make it easy when I make it hard Not everything’s a crossword puzzle in the dark I know I'm a headcase, but you get my heart And cut through all the noise You’re not like all the other boys Now eight years in the rearview And I think I know you Like nobody else does Or maybe ever has And now I know that sounds like wishful thinking But sitting here drinking With you in July In the mirrorball light Try to change my mind 'Cause I’ve been sitting shotgun tryna stay awake Pointing out the wildflowers on the freeway You’re getting the coffee, you know what I like You’re all the words I’ve been trying to write Yeah, you make it easy when I make it hard Not everything’s a crossword puzzle in the dark I know I'm a headcase, but you get my heart And cut through all the noise You’re not like all the other boys Time it flies when you’re flying, flying You get me high without even trying I’ve been sitting shotgun staring at your face You’re like every dream I've been trying to chase It’s not how I pictured, praying to the wall And I'm not what you imagined at all I’ve been sitting shotgun tryna stay awake Pointing out the wildflowers on the freeway You’re getting the coffee, you know what I like You’re all the words I’ve been trying to write Yeah, you make it easy when I make it hard Not everything’s a crossword puzzle in the dark I know I'm a headcase, but you get my heart And cut through all the noise You’re not like all the other boys I know you now You know me
