A New Appreciation
The Mugshots Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's say we just take things as they come.
I know I've told you but you still have no idea that you deserve every joy that I hope I make you feel, and I hear
This is as real as it gets y'all.
It don't get no realer than this.
This is as real as it gets girl.
It don't get no realer that this night.
And I'm nowhere near ready to hear, hear you say goodbye.
I'm willing to compromise for this feeling it's real and it's worth the fight.
I think you're worth the fight.
I hope I'm worth the fight to you.
Can you blame me for hoping this will last?
Let's say we just drive so far that we run out of gas and talk about how heavy this all seems.
I'll say I feel it too, but Lord it doesn't have to be and
I can't help but thinking, this is too good to be true, too good to be true
And I know what you're thinking but shorty you deserve me, maybe I deserve you.
I've got a new appreciation for
With Bob Dylan and candle light spiling over you filling this perfect night.
And I'm nowhere near ready to hear you say goodbye.
I'm willing to compromise for this feeling it's real and it's worth the fight.
I think you're worth the fight.
I hope I'm worth the fight to you.
Like spring snow she melts me
Take it slow cause you got me and I know we're new
But I'm happy to call you my girl.
I'm willing to compromise for this feeling it's real and it's worth the fight.
I think you're worth the fight.
I hope I'm worth the fight to you.
