Best Intention Yet Lyrics

Salt and sand stuck to my fingers

Summer songs stuck in my head

Sleeping out in half built houses

Fireworks bursting above our bed

I felt like a king on Independence Day

We faced the future eyes wide open

Crossed all our hearts before they were broken

Said our goodbyes nothing was spoken

You can't go back

You were the best intention I ever had

In the glow of graduation

We crossed stage and sat back down

And after that we knew so little

Posing in your cap and gown

You smiled no one is immune from change

We faced the future eyes wide open

Crossed all our hearts before they were broken

Said our goodbyes nothing was spoken

You can't go back

You were the best intention I ever had

We came too late broke down the door and faced the outcome

And you stayed so still, they took you in and turned their lights on

As we stood staring from your front lawn

We faced the future eyes wide open

Crossed all our hearts before they were broken

Said our goodbyes nothing was spoken

You can't go back

You were the best intention I ever had
