lyrics

Staring at the wheels, spokes and gears and chains
I knew why I was there
The sweat on both my hands
I couldn't seem to calm
I pulled at my own hair
I stumbled through your shop
Waiting for the clock
To say it's time to go
But first I met your friends
They knew who I was
But how much did you tell them,
How much did they know?

Did you think like I did
This was our beginning
The rest had been a prologue of what was yet to be
And nothing in this whole, wide, important world
Could stop the dam from breaking
Could keep your love from me

We loaded up your bike into my backseat
Where it left a stain on my bag
From your chain grease
You apologized, what you didn't know
Is I would wear that mark with pride
Wherever I would go
And from there I drove
Without much regard
Of any destination,
Now you had seen my cards
We made it through some drinks
When I confessed my sins
Let's order one more round, please,
I can't let this night end

Did you think like I did
We were getting started
We still had so much time
And nothing in this whole, wide, forgotten world
Could keep my hands from you
Could keep your hands from mine

But let us not forget
You were still the one
Who bet against me first
If you'd chosen well
When I still had a chance
It wouldn't have gone down this way,
It wouldn't have gone down this way,
It wouldn't have gone down this way,
It would have been just perfect

Eventually the night had to end
Regardless of any consequence
How were we to know
We had reached the end
This had been our epilogue
Our love was just pretend

Did you think like I did
This would be our epic
This would be the one thing we would hold until our graves
And nothing in this whole, wide, forgiving world
Would give us one more chance
Would give us one last chance to be saved
