I think there's something I'm running from
Or is it just who I am?
I leave you there in a parking lot
Do it again and again
I told you I would come back for you
And bring you strawberry jam
You said "you fell in love with a pretty mouth
it'll chew you up
It'll spit you out"

She likes me better when I'm taking my time
Fire burning at both ends
Don't want another perfect goodbye
She likes it better, oh, she likes it better with my
Head down, lately
Mindless talking in the backseat
In circles, playing eighteen
God only knows what you see in me

I lost my head in a burning room
I found your keys in my coat
We fell in love in a parachute
But I set off like a rolling stone
And I apologize to you, and I apologize for that
I'm calling in the Air Force
And you're waving like a flag
I turn around and right when I'm walking away
She said it right to my face

She likes me better when I'm taking my time
Fire burning at both ends
Don't want another perfect goodbye
She likes it better, oh, she likes it better with my
Head down, lately
Mindless talking in the backseat
In circles, playing eighteen
God only knows what you see in me

And I apologize to you
Then I apologize for that
And I'm sleeping at the airport
And you're slipping out the back
And I turn around and right when I'm walking away
She said it, she said it, she said, she said
Why you leaving me?
Why you leaving me?
