.i'd lie.

I don't think that passenger seat,
Has ever looked this good to me,
You tell me about your night,
And I count the colors in your eyes.

You'll never fall in love,
You swear, as you run your fingers through your hair.
I'm laughing, cause I hope you're wrong,
And I don't think it ever crossed your mind,
You tell a joke, I fake a smile,
But I know all your favorite songs.

And I could tell you,
Your favorite color's green,
You love to argue,
Born on the seventeenth,
Your family's beautiful,
You have your mother's eyes,
And if they ask me if I love you,
I'd lie.

You look around the room,
Innocently overlook the truth,
Shouldn't a light go on,
Don't you know that I've had you memorized for so long,
And you see everything black and white,
Never let nobody see you cry,
I don't let nobody see me wishing you were mine.

I could tell you,
Your favorite color's green,
You love to argue,
Born on the seventeenth,
Your family's beautiful,
You have your mother's eyes,
And if they ask me if I love you,
I'd lie.

You stand there, then walk away,
My God, if I could only say,
I'm holding every breath for you.

You'd never tell them,
But you can play guitar,
I think you can see through everything but my heart,
First thought when I wake up is,
My God, you're beautiful,
So I put on my make-up,
And pray for a miracle.

Yes, I could tell you,
Your favorite color's green,
And you love to argue and it kills me,
Your family's beautiful,
You have your mother's eyes,
And if they ask me if I love you,
I'd lie.
