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
