Lyrics

[00:06.593] We're always chasing assholes
[00:09.270] and they take their toll.
[00:12.462] It's not all their fault though,
[00:15.605] 'cause we really know.
[00:19.159] We're only chasing them
[00:21.598] to feel better about ourselves.
[00:25.421] and if we win them over
[00:27.885] then it's worth the hell.
[00:32.052] We only want the ones
[00:34.587] who don't want us,
[00:38.124] because we're really scared of true love.
[00:41.437]
[00:44.307] You say, I'm a keeper
[00:47.366] but you're a leaver.
[00:50.134] Nothing is as ever perfect damn
[00:52.917] as when I'm with you.
[00:56.390] and I wanna keep you
[00:59.639] and I see you leaving,
[01:02.580] and I see you chasing,
[01:05.859] but you only want him
[01:07.528] cause he don't want you
[01:11.927] If I ever treated you right,
[01:14.582] what would you do.
[01:17.055]
[01:22.249] We're always complaining
[01:24.903] saying we're alone,
[01:28.180] When the one for us
[01:31.505] is right under our nose.
[01:34.568] They don't fit the picture
[01:37.446] that we had in our heads.
[01:40.963] We only see with our eyes,
[01:44.005] well love is blind my friend.
[01:46.169]
[01:47.463] You say, I'm a keeper
[01:50.178] but you're a leaver.
[01:53.193] Nothing is as ever perfect damn
[01:56.037] as when I'm with you
[01:59.881] and I wanna keep you
[02:02.762] and I see you leaving,
[02:06.014] and I see you chasing,
[02:08.828] but you only want him
[02:10.496] cause he don't want you.
[02:14.996] If I ever treated you right,,
[02:17.627] what would you do.
[02:19.431]
[02:25.407] Sometimes it's easy
[02:26.811] cause it's meant to be.
[02:28.726] You're my sagittarius,
[02:30.204] you set me free.
[02:31.997] If you'd just let me in.
[02:37.758] Sometimes it's easy
[02:39.562] cause it's meant to be,
[02:41.044] from Minneapolis to Tennessee.
[02:44.673] You'd just let me in.
[02:48.174]
[02:52.014] You say, I'm a keeper
[02:55.279] but you're a leaver.
[02:58.097] Nothing is as ever perfect damn
[03:00.931] as when I'm with you
[03:04.763] and I wanna keep you
[03:07.877] and I see you leaving,
[03:10.892] and I see you chasing,
[03:13.636] but you only want him
[03:15.410] cause he don't want you.
[03:19.913] If I ever treated you right,
[03:22.495] what would you do.
