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.
