Old Country Song

I light it up
You put it out
I scream in anger
You kiss my mouth
I start the fire
And you calm the flame
I like the rules
While you love the game
I wake up early
You sleep until noon

But that's not the difference between me and you
I promise tomorrow
You can't do the same
You want to ride while I'm tugging on the reigns
I loved your spirit
But my hands are tied
In all of your secrets
And all of your lies
So now I watch you fade into the sun
It's been seven seconds and our time is up
But I'll keep you with me
Forgetting is long
My life's turning into an old country song

You're not the devil
And I'm not an angel
But sometimes I wish it was that way
No, I'm just a traveler
And you're just a liar
Both sitting here on your runaway train
And it could be perfect
No, It could be true

But there's just one difference between me and you
I promise tomorrow
You can't do the same
You want to ride while I'm tugging on the reigns
I loved your spirit
But my hands are tied
In all of your secrets
And all of your lies
So now I watch you fade into the sun
It's been seven seconds and our time is up
But I'll keep you with me
Forgetting is long
My life's turning into an old country song

But maybe one day I'll see that hat in a crowd
Or those boots in a bar when I go out
But I know it's unlikely cause I moved across town
And I can't see the stars where I'm living now
But it promises tomorrow when you can't do the same
You want to ride while I'm tugging on the reigns
I loved your spirit
But my hands are tied
In all of your secrets
And all of your lies

I swear that I see you on the horizon
When our song starts playing man I turn it up
I'll keep you with me
Forgetting is long
You'll always be my favorite country song
And I turn it up as the sun goes down
Cause I can't see the stars where I'm living now
