Carpet Burn

You only cry when you're mad
Wake with the fear that you had said somethin' bad
Told me how you lost your dad
And you get scared, you got the same damn demons in you

Well, I ain't countin' the scars
This one was carpet burn from fuckin' in my first car
You hate that he broke your heart
And you've been single since the person who you lost it to

I'll take every moment I get
But it gets me down that I didn't know you before we met
I'll take all the time we got left
But it gets me down that I didn't know you before we met
Oh, it gets me down that I didn't know you then

Flew there to spend the weekend (I flew there overnight)
You made a friend while I asked for another cigarette
He asked me how long's it been (but I don't know myself)
"I like the people here," I tell 'em while I'm starin' at you

Every moment I get
But it gets me down that I didn't know you before we met
I'll take all the time we got left
But it gets me down that I didn't know you before we met
Oh, it gets me down that I didn't know you

When I needed to hold you, when you were petrified
I don't think we were ready to see it in this light
Would have blamed it on the time
And it always would have been "What could have been?"

I'll take every moment I get
But it gets me down that I didn't know you before we met
I'll take all the time we got left
But it gets me down that I didn't know you before we met
Yeah, it gets me down that I didn't know you before we met
Oh, it gets me down that I didn't know you then
