More Than I Should

Listen • Purchase

Another midnight conversation, you call me from your hotel room

I ask about your wife and your children, you tell me you’re gonna see them soon

You say it’s a good night to start drinking, it will be like you never quit

the glass it might be empty but the bottle fits your lips

Remember your moment of clarity when you decided you never really wanted me

We both know we’re no damn good, you’re complicated and I’m misunderstood

I’d love you if only I could, I like you more than I should

Let’s go meet on the parkway out where the bridge crosses the lake

reminisce about our times together back when life was simple and sweet

We’ll give each other one last embrace, our souls will rise up, snow melting on our face
