Long Story Short

[Intro]
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

[Verse 1]
Wouldn't have wasted my time
And could've saved the pick-up line
Didn't have to go buy your drinks that night
Or go and ask for your number
Or wait a week to call ya
Or wait to meet your mother
I wonder

[Pre-Chorus 1]
What if we skipped the wait
The fancy dinner dates
And all the Hallmark holidays yeah
Skipped anniversaries
The get down on one knee
What if I knew in time you'd leave me

[Chorus]
What if
We never waited
And skipped a couple pages
What if we made
A long story short
And all the awkward stages
And honeymoon phases
We could've made
A long story short

[Post-Chorus]
Mmm mmmmmmmm
Mmm mmmmmmmm
Mmm mmmmmmmm
Long story short

[Verse 2]
They say go see where she's from
Then wait a year as a rule of thumb
Before you can call it love love love, oh god
They say to just take it slow
They say to see where it goes
What if I would've known
When I said hello

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I would've skipped the wait
The move into my place
Pretend to love your friends I hate
Skip years of little fights
On drunken Friday nights
Why did you wait to say goodbye

[Chorus]
What if
We never waited
And skipped a couple pages
What if we made
A long story short
And all the awkward stages
And honeymoon phases
We could've made
A long story short

[Post-Chorus]
Mmm mmmmmmmm
Mmm mmmmmmmm
Mmm mmmmmmmm
Long story short
Mmm mmmmmmmm
Mmm mmmmmmmm
Mmm mmmmmmmm
Long story short

[Bridge]
The more I think about it
All those conversations we had
I wanted little ones to look like you and not like their dad
Oh we could've played Santa
Been grandma and grandpa
Think about it
All those conversations we had

[Chorus]
And what if
We never waited
Girl why did you cut
A long story short
And all the awkward stages
And honeymoon phases
We could've made
A long story short

[Post-Chorus]
Mmm mmmmmmmm
Mmm mmmmmmmm
Mmm mmmmmmmm
Long story short
Mmm mmmmmmmm
Mmm mmmmmmmm
Mmm mmmmmmmm
Long story short
