It was the longest 60 miles that I have ever traveled
No I've never been this unraveled and I owe it all to me
You will see Cause I can't go down No I want go down

And I've never been one to keep quite for long
And you never could have kept me from writing this song
You inspired every word of it all by yourself
I'll be the first to admit I was as reckless and selfish as you

The night danced by so slowly
The lights went out so did inhibitions
Your face was all smiles and glowing
And I was left holding on Holding on
Cause I can't go down No I won't go down

And I've never been one to keep quite for long
And you never could have kept me from writing this song
You inspired every word of it all by yourself
I'll be the first to admit I was as reckless and selfish as you

And I've never been one to keep quite for long
And you never could have kept me from writing this song
You inspired every word of it all by yourself
I'll be the first to admit I was as reckless and selfish as you

The words come out in my head
I'll think of what I wish Id said to make you feel
that my arms are the first place you'd be

And I've never been one to keep quite for long
And you never could have kept me from writing this song
You inspired every word of it all by yourself
I'll be the first to admit I was as reckless and selfish as you

(If you could) and I know this is sudden
(And I should) be far less obscure than I am
(If you could) and I know this is sudden
(I should) be far less obscure than I am
