They say \"timing is everything\"
And I gotta believe it
'Cause if time isn't everything
Then we gave up for no reasonSometimes one plus one equal two stubborn people
Always on the run from the jump that's how we go
Following your heart's all fun 'til it get broke
Can't say you're the one so let's take it back to zero
Baby, what you think I'm gonna do in Sacramento?
You don't wanna be the one imposing on my schedule
Know you love to see it how I'm reaching other l?vels
Any kind of way to get too heavy on th? metal, yeah yeahWe're both a sucker for a fresh start
Loneliness always made the best art
So why don't you pack up your black car?
No, I hope you're doing well wherever you are
Yeah, I hope you're doing well wherever you are
Know you too much to let it fall apart
I hope you're getting better wherever you are
(We're both a sucker for a fresh start)They say \"If you love them, let 'em leave\"
And I do every time
What if I said I never thought about giving in
Chasing you down then I
I would be lyingI know one plus one equal two stubborn people
Always on the run from the jump that's how we go
Just because I love you don't mean I can be loyal
Can't say you're the one so let's take it back to zero
Baby, what you think I'm gonna do in Sacramento?
You not really offering to put me on the schedule
This is not the season to be me")
