lyrics

it's never gonna happen
so put that thought out your head tonight
but i know that won't happen
so let me hear your plan this time

i do this thing where i think of you
when a song or drive catches my mood
something takes me to a better time

but here's the rub not one frame's true
we had some time and then you grew
still i could chase your ghost for my whole life
while knowing nothing real is worth my time

(chorus)
so if it's never gonna happen
then the thought of you
will have to get me by

and if it's never gonna happen
then the way you look tonight
could end my life
no i'll be fine

nothing really matters
when you're on boot jack at night
you don't know i always meant to
have you see it through my eyes

me and my friends we're something else
we put a record on and we paint the town
a different drug to make me see the light

then i wake up a rested fool
and relapse right back into you
i say i don't want this for my whole life
but for the moment this will do me fine

(chorus)

(bridge)
no one's gonna bring me back to this earth on their own
without telling me why anyone would want to come back down
we're gonna hang around until
we know there's nothing else
i guess that's going to have to do for now

(chorus)
so if it's never gonna happen
then the thought of you
will have to get me by

and if it's never gonna happen
then the way you look tonight
could end my life
yeah the way you look tonight
will end my life
no i'll be fine
