When I was 19 I threw my stuff in the car I headed up to the Rockies, got a job at this bar Sellin' beer to the locals, just barely gettin' by On the tips from the rich kids there on daddy's dime But when I saw her walk in one night I knew that I'd be alright In Telluride, the snow fallin' down I was waking up in that sleepy little town In her eyes, my world came so alive I never will forget the moment she arrived in Telluride We spent that whole winter tangled up by the fire Castin' shadows on the cabin wall, drownin' in desire Confessin' all our secrets, and laughin' out loud So high up on that mountain, I thought we'd never come down It was a dream we were livin' in I was the happiest I'd ever been In Telluride, the snow fallin down Waking up with her in that sleepy little town In her eyes, my world came so alive I never will forget all those sleepless nights in Telluride It ended just like a movie scene And I had to play the part Of the lover who stood there and watched her leave And me with a frozen heart In Telluride, the snow fallin' down Standin' there alone in that sleepy little town In her eyes, my world came so alive I never will forget that day she said goodbye In Telluride, the snow fallin' down Waking up with her in that sleepy little town In her eyes, my world came so alive I never will forget all those sleepless nights in Telluride, oh In Telluride, yeah, yeah Telluride, oh Telluride, oh Telluride

Baby you ain't gotta wait forever Before you go and break my heart If you're thinking that we shouldn't be together Just leave me in the dark a little longer Do it on the highway Do it in the driveway Chevrolet parking out But not here in this cafe booth You don't ruin this perfect time Say "it's over" over on the West Coast somewhere In the middle of the city, New Year's Eve, Times Square If you've gotta let me go I'm gonna be alright Just don't tell me goodbye here in Telluride No don't take me that low when we're up this high Don't you tell me goodbye in Telluride Ever since we touched down in Colorado I could tell something wasn't right 'Cause you'll look at those snow-capped mountains But you won't look into my eyes Do it in a text, better yet in a letter You can leave on my pillowcase You can wreck me back in Tennessee Anywhere but this place Say "it's over" over on the West Coast somewhere In the middle of the city, New Year's Eve, Times Square If you've gotta let me go I'm gonna be alright Just don't tell me goodbye here in Telluride No don't take me that low when we're up this high Don't you tell me goodbye in Telluride Do it on the highway Do it in the driveway Chevrolet parking out But not here in this cafe booth You don't ruin this perfect time Dont' say "it's over" underneath this sky so blue Don't say "it's over", have a little mercy girl, won't you Say "it's over" from your window seat while on flying home Maybe once we get back, do it over the phone If you've gotta let me go, I'm gonna be alright Just don't tell me goodbye here in Telluride No don't take me that low when we're up this high Don't you tell me goodbye in Telluride Don't you tell me goodbye in Telluride

Hickory to Telluride I act like I've got nothing to hide Like I ain't got no wrong inside Hickory to Telluride Hickory to Telluride I act like I've got nothing to hide Like I ain't got no wrong inside Hickory to Telluride To hell you ride To hell you ride Like I ain't got no wrong inside Hickory to Telluride Keep under the valley stool You got me asleep under the moon In and out of my dreams in bloom Hickory you're by my side To hell you ride To hell you ride Like I ain't got no wrong inside Hickory to Telluride Broken bones and (???) Your blood makes its way into the night Hands are cold and fever (???) Hickory to Telluride To hell you ride To hell you ride To hell you ride To hell you

Season after season We never found a rhyme for all your reasons Bleeding, you don't see it My heart against my head Internal treason You kissed me one night You never thought twice Now I'm a punchline At least that means I'm something to you I'm so sick and tired Of following the light of stars that already died Am I just chasing anything that shines? Baby, you're so unaware It's not your fault that you don't care It's like leaving up my Christmas lights in June It's embarrassing how long I'll wait for you So, you go, knowing I'll follow The little bit of hope you leave me for tomorrow It's a sharp pill, it's hard to swallow But if it helps take off the edge, and fill the hollow Hole inside my chest that's shaped like you No one fits the mould, so what's the use? So, I'm so sick and tired Of following the light of stars that already died Am I just chasing anything that shines? Baby, you're so unaware But it's not your fault that you don't care It's like leaving up my Christmas lights in June It's embarrassing how long I'll wait for you Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, I'm so sick and tired Of following the light of stars that already died Am I just chasing anything that shines?

Lately I've been thinking 'bout the differences we've had Complications with chemistry maybe it's for the best You go East and I'll go West in search of something new Looking for the lover that I thought I found in you Put my heart up on the internet to play the lottery Spending pickup lines on shallow eyes that are sick of being lonely Feel like it might take some time to learn about myself No dependencies on remеdies that stem from someonе else Oh, looking in the mirror now I ask myself Will I ever have it figured out It's better if I forget about it Move on I can live without it It's better if I forget about it Move on I can live without it Thinking 'bout our memories regrets and my mistakes I thank God not loving you is one I didn't make Some days I still wonder if you're glad that we're apart Do you still think about me wish I never broke your heart Oh, looking in the mirror now I ask myself Will I ever have it figured out It's better if I forget about it Move on I can live without it It's better if I forget about it Move on I can live without it It's better if I forget about it Move on I can live without it It's better if I forget about it Move on I can live without it It's better if I forget about it Move on I can live without it Oh, looking in the mirror now I ask myself Will I ever have it figured out Ever have it figured out

My friends they tried to warned me Told me that you're just lonely I didn't second guess you for a minute But everything they told me was true I'm thinking about you But not how I want to I see you out on the internet You're try get my attention You've had it all since the day we met Now it's just a little bit different I'm thinking about you But it ain't I used to I'm thinking about you But not how I want to I wonder what you're doing tonight You're probably out there with your friends Trying to fill a void that I was close to filling in And we'll both move on to somebody new It's hell of a time getting over you Now I'm just left with a broken heart Wish I didn't fall so hard I'm thinking about you And I hate I'm not with you Oh I'm thinking about you Just now how I used to I'm thinking about you But not how I want to
