Pinky Swear

[Verse 1]
Every single car on the New Jersey Turnpike
Has their hazards flashing for a fireworks display
I’ll stop and watch it, but I’m too busy thinking
Of every single chance that I was too afraid to take

[Chorus]
Life gets in the way of living
And interrupts the could’ve / would’ve / should’ve that I ask myself each day
Where I’ve spent my time and how I’m spending it
And if I’m simply wasting it away

[Verse 2]
So, while I sat there, motor humming, on the shoulder
I thought I’d find a pen and start to write my failures out
But then the lights were gone and both sides of the paper were full
So, hazards off, turn signal on, gas pedal down

[Chorus]
Life gets in the way of living
And interrupts the could’ve / would’ve / should’ve that I ask myself each day
Where I’ve spent my time and how I’m spending it
And if I’m simply wasting it away

[Chorus 2]
Life gets in the way of living
And interrupts the could be / would be / should be that we’re offered everyday
And now that you and I’ve been given what we’ve wanted
Let’s make a pinky swear that we don’t throw it all away
