I Guess You're Alright

Ask all of my friends,
In a million years, I'd have never seen you coming
I was so content to think that love
would find me, but I would keep on running

But your stupid jokes and that
Crooked smile of yours made me hit the brakes
All of your indie songs,
And the way you look at me are pictures that I can't erase

Your mind is so wide open and you let me walk right in
And I took so long to build these walls, but now they're crumbling
And I used to think that to open up was to give yourself away
But all of that's changed

I know that no one's perfect and it's your flaws that make me smile
Never thought I'd want to settle
Down, but I could stay here for a while
So if the subways flood, bridges break,
And the world around us starts to shake
And I need someone beside me for the night
Then I guess you're alright

I'd never want to change you, like I know the ones before me wanted to
They didn't see what I see,
They couldn't ever love you half as much as I do

'Cause when you throw your head back laughing,
And that childish gleam sneaks into your eyes
I thank God that this mess I've been through has lead me to your side

I've grown to love that my tattoos lead my mind back to you
And all my favorite stories are the ones you've been through too
I know that I'm not crazy yet, but you could drive me there
No and I'm not scared, I'm not scared

I know that no one's perfect and it's your flaws that make me smile
Never thought I'd want to settle
Down, but I could stay here for a while
So if the subways flood, bridges break,
And the world around us starts to shake
And I need someone beside me for tonight
Then I guess you're alright
Then I guess you're alright
Alright

You know that I hate love songs cause to me they sound the same
But you asked me why I love you, and why you make me feel this way
So instead of me just laughing and saying "I think you're the worst"
I dropped all my defenses and put it into words

I know that no one's perfect and it's your flaws that make me smile
Never thought I'd want to settle
Down, but I could stay here for a while
So if the subways flood, bridges break,
And the world around us starts to shake
And I need someone beside me for the night
Then I guess you're alright
Then I guess you're alright
Then I guess you're alright

Then I guess you're alright
Then I guess you're alright
