Intro:
*break*
Verse 1:
*break*
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: (bass starts at 1:36)
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:
*break*
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?

Outro:
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)
