To Get You

I had a wandering ego

And a black vintage coat

From the broken-down past

Honey, you’ll never know

What I did, what I did to get you

On our summer late-night drives

I would switch lanes

With my hands over my eyes

Swerving right to escape

What I left

What I left

To get you

To know you

Lost every little thing

To watch you

To want you

Lost every little thing

To hold you

I had to

Mastermind your dreams

To get you

To get you

Outside it’s spring again

I’m drifting away

We float through cartoon clouds

Turning blue into grey

And there’s no place on earth (No place on earth)

I know you could keep

To be a secret of our own

Bury it right next to me

What I’d do all over again

To get you

To know you

Lost every little thing

To watch you

To want you

Lost every little thing

To hold you

I had to give just about everything

To get you

I dodged a bullet, still half of my heart bled out

Burned all the bridges, the fire kept falling down

Cried in the theatre to the scenes where I saved you

That’s what I did

That’s what I did

And there’s no place on earth

The wolves could ever take

‘Cause this promise I keep

Is the one I’d always make

What I’d do

All over again

To get you
