Southbound and Sinking
Southbound and sinkin' down on 95
I was lookin' for a way to keep my hopes alive
I needed somethin' big to keep me on your mind
So I painted our names up on the exit sign
No expectations are too big to disappoint
I give you everythin' I got until got no voice
I don't need another friend, I got enough in this joint
No denyin', I'm tryin', that's my whole damn point
Look, I fell for you, I mean, of course
You're like this magnetic force
And I'm just one of dozens more
With this ridiculous notion
With this ridiculous notion
That you're gonna fall for me
Fall for me
Fall for me
Fall for me
They say you never get nowhere if you nеver just start
Put my pen down to paper and I torе myself apart
Took a real good beatin' but I worked it hard
Who says you never get nowhere on a broken heart?
Look at me lettin' all my feelings show
Look, I'll tell you anythin' you wanna know
Are you windin' me up just to let me go?
Or are you lettin' things happen very, very, very slow?
Look, I fell for you, I mean, of course
You're like this magnetic force
And I'm just one of dozens more
With this ridiculous notion
With this ridiculous notion
That you're gonna fall for me
Fall for me
Fall for me
Fall for me
I'm not great at waitin' but l'II do what I must
And I'm tryin' to be patient but it's gettin' pretty rough
I don't think that there's a man for you that's special enough
But I'lI be the one standin' in the settlin' dust
No reservations, nothin' holdin' me back
Bettin' everythin' I've got but my cards aren't stacked
No more playin' it cool, let's get down to brass tacks
I wanna give you everythin' I'm ever gonna have
Look, I fell for you, I mean, of course
You're like this magnetic force
And I'm just one of dozens more
With this ridiculous notion
With this ridiculous notion
That you're gonna fall for me
Fall for me
Fall for me
Fall for me...
Fall for me
Fall for me...
