Pinky Swear

[Verse 1]

Every single car on the New Jersey Turnpike

Has their hazards flashing for a fireworks display

I’ll stop and watch it, but I’m too busy thinking

Of every single chance that I was too afraid to take

[Chorus]

Life gets in the way of living

And interrupts the could’ve / would’ve / should’ve that I ask myself each day

Where I’ve spent my time and how I’m spending it

And if I’m simply wasting it away

[Verse 2]

So, while I sat there, motor humming, on the shoulder

I thought I’d find a pen and start to write my failures out

But then the lights were gone and both sides of the paper were full

So, hazards off, turn signal on, gas pedal down

[Chorus]

Life gets in the way of living

And interrupts the could’ve / would’ve / should’ve that I ask myself each day

Where I’ve spent my time and how I’m spending it

And if I’m simply wasting it away

[Chorus 2]

Life gets in the way of living

And interrupts the could be / would be / should be that we’re offered everyday

And now that you and I’ve been given what we’ve wanted

Let’s make a pinky swear that we don’t throw it all away
