I'm doing good, I'm on some new shit  
Been saying "yes" instead of "no"  
I thought I saw you at the bus stop, I didn't though  
  
I hit the ground running each night  
I hit the Sunday matinée  
You know the greatest films of all time were never made  

I guess you never know, never know  
And if you wanted me, you really should've showed  
And if you never bleed, you're never gonna grow  
And it's alright now  
  
But we were something, don't you think so?  
Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool  
And if my wishes came true  
It would've been you  
In my defense, I have none  
For never leaving well enough alone  
But it would've been fun  
If you would've been the one  
  
I have this dream you're doing cool shit  
Having adventures on your own  
You meet some woman on the Internet and take her home  
We never painted by the numbers, baby  
But we were making it count  
You know the greatest loves of all time are over now  
  
I guess you never know, never know  
And it's another day, waking up alone  
  
But we were something, don't you think so?  
Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool  
And if my wishes came true  
It would've been you  
In my defense, I have none
For never leaving well enough alone  
But it would've been fun  
If you would've been the one  
  
Hey, yeah-yeah  
I persist and resist the temptation to ask you  
If one thing had been different  
Would everything be different today?  
  
We were something, don't you think so?  
Rosé flowing with your chosen family  
And it would've been sweet  
If it could've been me  
In my defense, I have none  
For digging up the grave another time  
But it would've been fun  
If you would've been the one
