lyrics

Time’s going by even slower more than I
Had thought was capable, feasible, reasonable
I was told that life flashes right before our eyes
Ain’t no holding on, slowing down little did I know
Meeting you would make me feel that way
There’s something in your eyes I can’t explain
In the bedside table there’s a pearl handled pistol
By morning we could be two states away

With my gun and your looks
We’ll write our names in the history books
I forget who I was ‘fore you arrived
My heartbeat moves quickly
Every time that you’re around me
Since I met you now I’m always on the high
And when we go they’ll know our battle cry

All these promises of hope seem the easy way to go
Am I better than what I’ve said and who I was
Always heard that life’s for the taking so let’s try
Grabbing cash, moving fast, and moving on
No one’s ever left this town alive
Oh thoughts and prayers will get us there in time
I’ll go straight to the grave if you say you’ll come along
I ain’t good at first impressions or so longs

With my gun and your looks
We’ll write our names in the history books
I forget who I was ‘fore you arrived

My heartbeat moves quickly
Every time that you’re around me
Since I met you now I’m always on the high
And when we go they’ll know our battle cry

Time’s going by even faster more than I
Had thought was capable feasible reasonable
I was told that life flashes right before our eyes
Ain’t no holding on, slowing down, little did I know
Talking like a man who had it best
But always settled quick for so much less
We don’t want the things we’ve got until the moment that they’re gone
Then we burn the boats that bring us all along

La da da da
