Mike Perry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We fell outta love
We thought that we lost
But now I see there′s nothing better than us
Than us

You got me chasin' memories, just so I can feel ya
You got me wishin′ nothing changed, oh
I think I need ya, I think I need ya right now

All we ever get is one life
So I think that we better spend it right
I don't wanna waste one more afternoon
Being alone and not here with you

All we ever get is one life
So I think that we better spend it right
'Cause we got way too much time to lose
So let me know if you want me too

So let me know if you want me too

So let me know if you want me too

We made a mistake
Lettin′ us slip away
But let′s forget everything that happened, my love
My love

You got me chasin' memories, just so I can feel ya
You got me wishin′ nothing changed, oh
I think I need ya, I think I need ya right now

All we ever get is one life
So I think that we better spend it right
I don't wanna waste one more afternoon
Being alone and not here with you

All we ever get is one life
So I think that we better spend it right
′Cause we got way too much time to lose
So let me know if you want me too

So let me know if you want me too





So let me know if you want me too
