lyrics

I spent the night in a truck stop parking lot

Just to be anywhere but home

And you called me as you watched me from around the corner

While I was sitting in a photo booth alone

And it's the sweetest thing that anyone's done for me

I keep the pictures with the coupons close in the passenger seat

And for a week I sort of fell for you

And convinced myself that maybe you could fall for me

But when I poured my guts out in metaphor

You said you didn't know what to say but it's probably for the best

Cause either way when I get home from tour

You'll be halfway across the state and I'll still be a mess

And I guess this is as good as it gets for now

My friends keep telling me to just wait it out

Can't we pretend for the night that I'm something worth your time

Can't we pretend for the night

I said that if I ever meet and you told me I meant when

I guess I just got hopeless I wonder when that happened

I said that if I ever meet and you told me I meant when

I guess I just got hopeless I wonder when that happened

Jolynn keeps telling me I'm dragging my feet

I guess I've always been that way

I stopped watching the sun come up over the Kankakee

When you couldn't stay awake to watch it with me

And I guess this is as good as it gets for now

My friends keep telling me to just wait it out

Can't we pretend for the night that I'm something worth your time

Can't we pretend for the night

I never wanted to fall

I knew you wouldn’t catch me

Let’s not pretend like I ever thought you were something that would make me happy

I never wanted to fall

I knew you wouldn’t catch me

I knew you wouldn’t catch me

I never wanted to fall

I knew you wouldn’t catch me

Let’s not pretend like I ever thought you were something that would make me happy

I never wanted to fall

I knew you wouldn’t catch me

At least you gave me something to fall for

And I guess this is as good as it gets for now

My friends keep telling me to just wait it out

I’m done waiting around

Can't we pretend for the night that I'm something worth your time

Can't we pretend for the night that I’m something worth your time

Can’t we pretend for the night

That for once this all works out and I’d be good enough this time
