Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me the truth, dont tell me lies.
Ive been bad, but im so good to you.
Wont you love me like you used to do?
Theres a passion burnin in my veins.
Feel it pulse like a run away train.
The highway called me when i was 22.
Back when you loved me like you used to do.
I miss the want to in your eyes.
Well I need you more than I ever knew,
Wont you love me like you used to do?
Wont you love me like you used to do?
On and on well the days go by.
Another blur from a city limit sign.
I cant recall when I wasnt on the move.
You still loved me like you used to do.
Theres a thunder in the words you cried.
Whos to blame? The accusations fly.
It dont matter if its me or if its you.
Why cant you love me like you used to do?
I miss your kiss in the morning light.
I miss the want to in your eyes.
Well, I need you more than I ever knew.
Wont you love me like you used to do?
Wont you love me like you used to do?
I miss your kiss in the morning light.
I miss the want to in your eyes.
Well, I need you more than I ever knew.
Wont you love me like you used to do?
Why cant you love me like you used to do?
You can still love me like you used to do.
Wont you love me like you used to do?

Great sound for something that wasn't done in a studio. Usually these kinds of live performances severely lack any kind of sound quality.
