With a thank you to Emma Gale for working with me on some of these lyrics.

I got into my car
A mixtape of love songs from age 17
I had always loved the country scene
I drove across town

You killed time
You were playing every love song we ever loved
You had always loved the motown hum
Wait for me to come around

I was standing in the doorway
Jumped the fence like I always do
But you already knew
That I had something on my mind

You opened the door
And looked like Saturday night on Sunday morn
You already knew
I had something on my mind

Someone’s gotta choose
It’s me or it’s you that lights the fuse
Some things gotta change
There has to be a day
They all  can’t end the same
Some things gotta change

I looked you in the eyes
I felt as nervous as the day that we first met
My words hung like ash on cigarette
I tried to say something

You looked me in the eyes
And it’s funny how forever makes them clear
You had told you that you dared me, dear
I tried to change the conversation

Someone’s gotta choose
It’s me or it’s you that lights the fuse
Some things gotta change
There has to be a day
They all  can’t end the same
Some things gotta change

And now I know you know
And now you know I know you know
I can make or break your heart
You can make or break my heart

Someone’s gotta choose
It’s me or it’s you that lights the fuse
Some things gotta change
There has to be a day
They all  can’t end the same
Some things gotta change
