She'd set fire to the room And in to bed we'd fall in the middle of the afternoon But that's when everything was new I guess it's been a little while We'd share details of our day Now I get my news from all the things she doesn't say She's already far enough away So this time I'll just let it slide Sometimes you are too far gone You don't need to read the signs And everything between the lines Cause even the truth can't change your mind Everything feels so quiet now It wasn't perfect but at least we used to fight about it All my friends say she's checked out I guess that I'll just keep on trying Sometimes you are too far gone You don't need to read the signs And everything between the lines Cause even the truth can't change your mind Maybe she is not the one Maybe we just need a little time Maybe what it is is what it is Maybe that's enough Sometimes you are too far gone You don't need to read the signs And everything between the lines Sometimes you are too far gone You don't need to read the signs And everything between the lines Cause even the truth can't change your mind

Woke up with a pretty little stranger in my bed Tequila and her perfume in my head And she's looking at, me looking at me, looking at me like Are we gonna go again? She's gonna take all my time And that's alright, yeah Cause I I don't need to be anywhere I don't need to be anywhere It's hard to know just where she ends and I begin The moment she breaths out, I breath in And she's looking at me, looking at me, looking at me like She already knows what I'm thinking I'm gonna take all my time And that's alright, yeah Cause I I don't need to be anywhere I don't need to be anywhere And the world can wait And the world can wait And the world can wait I I don't need to be anywhere I don't need to be anywhere And she's looking at me, looking at me, looking at me like I don't need to be anywhere She's looking at me, looking at me, looking at me looking And the world can wait And the world can wait And the world can wait

You looked pretty in your dress tonight And you outshone the moon tonight But you always do I watch you take your makeup off And maybe it's not obvious But I'm crazy about you Turn off the light Lead me to bed Knowing tomorrow we'll do it again I'm so glad you fell into me And I don't tell you near enough I can't believe my luck Turn off the light Lead me to bed Knowing tomorrow we'll do it again Turn off the light Lead me to bed Knowing tomorrow we'll do it again

I've been sleeping With this cute girl I met online She was comfortable, 25 We got on fine Was into star signs I guess that's nothing new She was funny, she was kind But she's not you I've tried to move on Believe me I've been trying There was a waitress Had your smile but not your eyes Talked in her sleep Like you do I liked the way she'd take her time But she's not you Now of course there's Jessie I'm sure you've heard by now Mum adores her She's got it all figured out Brings out the best in me And lights up the room Tells me that she loves me And I know that it's true I know that she would make me happy If I wanted her to But she's not you She's not you She's not you
