Should I? Could I? Have said the wrong things right a thousand times If I could just rewind, I see it in my mind If I could turn back time, you'd still be mine You cried, I died I should have shut my mouth, things headed south As the words slipped off my tongue, they sounded dumb If this old heart could talk, it'd say you're the one I'm wasting time when I think about it I should have drove all night, I would have run all the lights I was misunderstood I stumbled like my words, Did the best I could Damn, misunderstood Could I? Should I? Apologize for sleeping on the couch that night Staying out too late with all my friends You found me passed out in the yard again You cried, I tried To stretch the truth, but didn't lie It's not so bad when you think about it I should have drove all night, I would have run all the lights I was misunderstood I stumbled like my words, Did the best I could Damn, misunderstood Intentions good It's you and I, just think about it I should have drove all night I would have run all the lights I was misunderstood I stumbled like my words, did the best I could I 'm hanging outside your door I've been here before Misunderstood I stumbled like my words, did the best I could Damn, misunderstood Intentions good.
