lyrics

There’s a hundred different reasons why I shouldn’t make this call
‘Cause I’ve had too much to drink, or maybe not enough at all.
I could sit here in my bedroom just twiddling my thumbs
Or gather up my courage for this Overdue Confession.

Like a drunk without his whiskey or a ship without a sail
I got lost in California in the arms of someone else.
And I just could not believe it, it was in me this whole time
When I finally got to leaving it was you was on my mind.

‘Cause I was born to love you like a boxer loves the pain
And I hope I’m not too late to start a fight
Yes I was born to love you like a junkie loves cocaine
And I hope I’m not too late to start a line
So if you ever wanna try
Tell me “that’ll be just fine.”

Well my old flame got suspicious every time you came around
And I pacified her jealousy with a slew of empty vows
‘Cause I couldn’t reconcile with this thing we never had
Just a quick summer we were barely more than lovers but I wanted more oh so bad.

‘Cause I was born to love you like the river loves the rain
And I know how much you love the storms at night
Yes I was born to love you like a junkie loves cocaine
And I hope I’m not too late to start a line.
So if you ever wanna try
Tell me, "that'll be just fine."

‘Cause I was born to love you like the river loves the rain
And I know how much you love the storms at night
Yes I was born to love you like a junkie loves cocaine
And I hope I’m not too late to start a line
So if you ever wanna try
Tell me, "that'll be just fine."
