[Verse]
I could spend my whole life loving you
Hey, can you teach me how to drive
My feet were too cold to hold control
But now you make me wanna try
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm sorry about the gush but
Fuck it I’m feeling sentimental
And I’m not in a rush but
Honey, I’m having trouble
Handling myself without
Needing your help
And I’d be happy as hell
Never needing anything else
[Chorus]
You got me big-time dreaming with a
Broken-home-believing
Growing old and oversleeping
Writing records for the weekend
Got me big-time dreaming with a
Broken-home-believing
Growing old and oversleeping
Writing records for the weekend
[Verse]
Breathing Nicotine and playing house
My mama’s speed is kicking in
You asked me if my parents ever felt like this
I hope they never did
[Pre-Chorus]
Sorry about the gush but
Fuck it I’m feeling sentimental
I’m not usually looking up cause
Honey, I haven’t seen a love in their eyes
Since the day I turned five
And I’d be happy as hell
Never needing anyone else
[Chorus]
You got me big-time dreaming with a
Broken-home-believing
Growing old and oversleeping
Writing records for the weekend
Got me big-time dreaming with a
Broken-home-believing
Growing old and oversleeping
Writing records for the weekend
[Outro]
Picking me up and looking me down
Ice cream at the Dairy Queen in your hometown
You’re looking like a memory that I forgot about
Sweet candy lips
Keep spinning me round
