But then you w

Baby, now and 


then
              
Don't you just

Dark as a lake
              
Smelling like 

   
a bonfire

Lost in a haze?
              
If you're drun

e

I think it's great

[Verse 2]
       
I aim low
              
I aim true, an

              
d the ground's

         
 where I go
              
I work late wh

              
ere I'm free f

        
rom the phone

And the job gets done
             
But you worry 

        
some, I know
              
But who wants 

           
to live foreve

r, babe
              
You treat your

              
 mouth as if i

    
t's Heaven's g

ate
              
The rest of yo

              
u like you're 

    
the TSA
              
I wish I could

     
 go along
              
Babe, don't ge

     
t me wrong
              
You know you'r

              
e bright as th

   
e morning

As soft as the rain
             
Pretty as a vi

ne

As sweet as a grape
              
If you can sit

       
 in a barrel

Maybe I'll wait
            
Until that day

[Chorus]
            
I'd rather tak
