When I Win You Over

when I win you over
we'll count the flowers growing in the yard
and if I call you sober
would you forgive for all the times I fell apart

The light has gotten dimmer
The longer I investigate the cause
said i'd always love you
you said youre movin out
your'e movin on

I kept holdin' onto you
like the widow to the grave
and I know theres nothin' left for me to say
but im stayin' awake
anyway

and when we get much older
we'll remember why wer'e better than the rest
your head atop my shoulder
watching while the colors paint the west

you'll be reading with me
while I can lift the leaves from off the grass
hard to say you left me
no easier to say that nothin' lasts

I kept holdin' onto you
like the blood against the blade
and I know theres nothin' left for me to say
but im stayin' awake
anyway

Woah oh oh oh oh
woah oh oh oh oh
say you know, and I will lead you home So when I win you over
we'll count the flowers growing in the yard
