lyrics

Well you're up to a pack a day for your addiction
And I take a pill when I wake up for my afflictions
But maybe my love is a nicotine patch, maybe your love is an antidepressant
I don't believe that, but my belief could use a little suspension

Baby girl give me the chance to be
Someone you needed five years ago
When you were young and sweet
I'll kiss the ground you walk on

Is he the man who loves you most?
I bet your boyfriend hates your jokes, alright

Hit the drive-through with a friend of mine
And we drove to that place where my heart first broke in two
And it still hurt like hell, but it was still one hell of a view
Where I sat on the beach and I was talking about Gatsby because the movie was coming out soon
And I could see a green light across that bay and I wanted to recreate my past too

When I said

Baby girl give me the chance to be
Someone you needed five years ago
When you were young and sweet
I'll kiss the ground you walk on

Is he the man who loves you most?
I bet your boyfriend hates your jokes, alright

So who's your boyfriend on this coast?
I bet your boyfriend hates your jokes
