There are lines in my head
i know they've never been read
but i know that i don't want them said
cuz you'd know

that i don't wanna go down
i still wanna fight
i wanna see your face at the end of that long, long night
i can't skip forward and i don't wanna go back
but i'm lost here in the pages and the words around me and i can't react
i can't react

there are miles on the car
i smile, we've taken it so far
a little bit defiant
what was it for?
we still stood like giants in the story that i wrote, in the story that i wrote, in the story that i wrote

i don't wanna go down
i still wanna fight
i wanna see your face at the end of that long, long night
i can't skip forward and i don't wanna go back
but i'm lost here in the pages and the words around me and i can't react

you can't make me good
not like that
no, honey, not like that
not like that
baby, not like that

i love books
they made me a heroine in the woods
but i don't have words right now

'cept i don't wanna go down
i still wanna fight
i wanna smile in the mirror in that morning light
i never been a gambler and i don't know odds
i just like laying songs down it feels better than not
oh pressure, pressure, pressure
i can't push you off
i just wanna be measured and remembered for the way that it was
for the way that it was
and the way that i loved
for the way that it was
and the way that i loved
