17 Hours Lyrics

The other night when we were fighting about the future
It's too uncertain to stand here just gawking
Every time we get here, we lie about commitment
I'm committed to stand by my calling
Every time my life falls
I'm trying to pick up pieces
You can talk all you want about leaving
Every time you get here
You talk about the future
But you're my only future and I'll always wake by your side


I'll always wake by your side

The other day when I was packing to go to Houston
Remember how you laughed at my excuses
Every time you come here you're looking for an answer
There's parts of me that don't find resolution
Every time my life falls
I'm trying to pick up pieces
You can talk all you want about grieving
Every time you come here, you want to start a family
Maybe I'm like my father, but I'll always wake by your side

Yeah, I'll always wake by your side

I spent 17 hours on a Greyhound bus
I never thought I could miss you this much
After 17 hours on a Greyhound bus
Got so drunk and so cold

I'll always wake by your side

Yeah, I'll always wake by your side

I'll always wake by your side, oh

I'll always wake by your side, oh
