A Couple of Years Lyrics

Let me twist the cap of a bottle

Let it all rush out and fall to smoke and dirt

Cause there's a lot of tall buildings burning

And not one has a fire escape that's gonna work

What's it worth

To work in time to leave me behind as sure as I am I've recognized

I haven't written a song in a long time

And there's a lot of tall buildings burning in my mind

The first one's the way you love me and I need you

Last night at 10:30 in the afternoon

Next Sunday it'll be in your dorm room

Wishing I could stay and being forced to move

The second's the way my friends have been up and gone

Not all just some but that's enough

And it ain't my fault that y'all have been up and lost

But it is but it isn't oh isn't it all

The way that mama says I've been leaving home

Even though moss don't grow on a rolling stone

So hold me closer and wipe that tear

We're just going away for a couple of years

So let me twist the cap of a bottle

And let it all rush out and fall in what's gonna work

Cause I can't make a change that's gonna save me from the ways

that they've been hurt

Oh what the hell I'll just as well

Say I'm sorry like y'all could tell

It hurts a little to say that we're alone now

It hurts a little to say that I know how

The first one's the way you love me and I need you

Last night at 10:30 in the afternoon

Next Sunday it'll be in your dorm room

Wishing I could stay and being forced to move

The second's the way my friends have been up and gone

Not all just some but that's enough

And it ain't my fault that y'all have been up and lost

But it is but it isn't oh isn't it all

The way that mama says I've been leaving home

Even though moss don't grow on a rolling stone

So hold me closer and wipe that tear

We're just going away for a couple of years

I've been thinking about leaving it all for you

Sweet songs in the summer were all I knew

I've been thinking that thinking is all I do

I think about you

I've been thinking about leaving it all for you

Sweet songs in the summer were all I knew

I've been thinking that thinking is all I do

I think about you

I've been thinking about leaving it all for you

Sweet songs in the summer were all I knew

I've been thinking that thinking is all I do

I think about you

The first one's the way you love me and I need you

Last night at 10:30 in the afternoon

Next Sunday it'll be in your dorm room

Wishing I could stay and being forced to move

The second's the way my friends have been up and gone

Not all just some but that's enough

And it ain't my fault that y'all have been up and lost

But it is but it isn't oh isn't it all

The way that mama says I've been leaving home

Even though moss don't grow on a rolling stone

So hold me closer and wipe that tear

We're just going away for a couple of years

Hold me closer

Wipe that tear

A couple of years
