lyrics

I'm sorry I don't always finish the things you start.
I guess we weren't always the things that we are.

I know you don't just hang on every word,
'cause too often I take too many turns,
and I think if we both just calm down now,
I think we can turn it all around...

'Cause you and me, we're better than this shit,
and I've got the pictures to prove it.
You and me, we're better than this shit,
and I know that we'll get through it.

I'm finally starting to understand the words you speak,
and I think you're starting to absorb my vocabulary.

I know you don't just hang on every word,
'cause too often I take too many turns,
and I think if we both just calm down now,
I think we can turn it all around

And as for me, I'm getting ready for something I've never had before,
And as for me, I'm getting ready to stay instead of run through the door.
