Dusty couldn't blame us
We were young and indie famous
Still not enough to save us from our fear of heights
You know they might call it a gamble
Or an Oklahoma scramble
We left the basement in a shamble on those summer nights

But still you know
But still you know I can't allow myself to fall for you
But still you know
But still you know I can't allow myself to fall for you

I might say you were smitten
By the envy I'd been bitten
You wrote some songs I wish I'd written
But I'd wait awhile
Sometimes I wish we'd taken chances
With the flames or at the dances
Across the room we traded glances
And I'd see you smile

But still you know
But still you know I can't allow myself to fall for you
But still you know
But still you know I can't allow myself to fall for you

Don't ever say I didn't choose you
Still it stung a bit to lose you
Despite the distance and the whose who
We'd stay friends for sure
Bet it demons that would damn us
For the Dunes and Tropicanas
You sure looked cute in those pajamas and a bit demure

But still you know
But still you know I can't allow myself to fall for you
But still you know
But still you know I can't allow myself to fall for you
