I'm doing good

I'm on some new s**t

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 matinee

You know the greatest films of all time were never made

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

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

I have this dream

You're doing cool s**t

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

I guess you never know never know

And it's another day waking up alone

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

I persist and resist the temptation to ask you

If one thing had been different

Would everything be different today

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
