Talk Myself Out Of Falling

(album: Everything I Should Have Said - 2014)

You said "last night was crazy"
I said "the secret's safe with me"
Then I put you in a cab
Kissed you and watched you leave
Standing in the cold gray morning
It hit me without warning
If I let you, you'd be everything I'd need

I should've chased those red taillights
Before they rolled out of view
Should've told you
You were worth more than anything I had to lose
But I stood right there where you left me
Hanging on to a wild night of memories
Trying to talk myself outta falling in love with you

The lies I tell my heart
I can't tell anymore
So tired of wondering what I'm not calling you for
I know I'm risking it all to do this
But I don't want to lose this
Feeling I've had since I closed that yellow cab door

I should've chased those red taillights
Before they rolled out of view
Should've told you
You were worth more than anything I had to lose
But I stood right there where you left me
Hanging on to a wild night of memories
Trying to talk myself outta falling in love with you

There's a million reasons why this won't work
But only one why it will
Baby, say that you want me still
Baby, say that you want me still

I should've chased those red taillights
Before they rolled out of view
Should've told you
You were worth more than anything I had to lose
But I'm standing right here where you left me
Hanging on to a wild night of memories
'Cause I can't talk myself outta falling in love with you
Don't wanna talk myself outta falling in love with you
