Verse 1

  • I’m doing good, I’m on some new shit
  • Been saying “yes” instead of “no”
  • I thought I saw you at the bus stop, I didn’t though
  • I hit the ground running each night
  • I hit the Sunday matinée
  • You know the greatest films of all time were never made

Pre-Chorus

  • I guess you never know, never know
  • And if you wanted me, you really should’ve showed
  • And if you never bleed, you’re never gonna grow
  • And it’s alright now

Chorus

  • But we were something, don’t you think so?
  • Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool
  • And if my wishes came true
  • It would’ve been you
  • In my defense, I have none
  • For never leaving well enough alone
  • But it would’ve been fun
  • If you would’ve been the one
  • (Ooh)

Verse 2

  • I have this dream you’re doing cool shit
  • Having adventures on your own
  • You meet some woman on the internet and take her home
  • We never painted by the numbers, baby
  • But we were making it count
  • You know the greatest loves of all time are over now

Pre-Chorus

  • I guess you never know, never know
  • And it’s another day waking up alone

Chorus

  • But we were something, don’t you think so?
  • Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool
  • And if my wishes came true
  • It would’ve been you
  • In my defense, I have none
  • For never leaving well enough alone
  • But it would’ve been fun
  • If you would’ve been the one

Bridge

  • I, I, I persist and resist the temptation to ask you
  • If one thing had been different
  • Would everything be different today?

Chorus

  • We were something, don’t you think so?
  • Rosé flowing with your chosen family
  • And it would’ve been sweet
  • If it could’ve been me
  • In my defense, I have none
  • For digging up the grave another time
  • But it would’ve been fun
  • If you would’ve been the one
  • (Ooh)
