Backroad Love & Cider

Songtekst

SOMETHING REAL (Final) Verse 1 I don't want no fake kind of love, I've had enough I don't want somebody who only calls when they need somethin' Spent years tryin' to make people stay Who didn't wanna stay Watchin' my happiness leave every time they walked away I ain't doin' that again Verse 2 I want that random two hour drive with no real plan You and me, windows down, your hand in my hand That little diner out of town that only we know And our spot nobody goes, where the world gets slow Verse 3 October comes and we're at the cider mill line Cold cider sloshin' over, you laughin' every time Hot donuts in a paper bag, sugar on your lips Apple orchard walkin', steal a kiss between sips Pre-Chorus I don't need perfect, I just need true Someone who gets me like I get you Chorus I wanna build a life that don't need performin' You know my bad parts, I know yours in the mornin' We complement each other, weaknesses and strengths That's how you know it's real when it still makes sense I want little moments that mean everything Rest of our lives, livin' life to the fullest I want something real Verse 4 Give me fall colors out the windshield, backroads that we know Haunted houses holdin' you close, hayride getting slow Bonfire smoke in your hair, stars up over Michigan sky Talkin' 'bout nothing and everything till the fire dies Verse 5 Then December hits and we're chasin' Christmas lights Two hot chocolates getting cold on a freezing night Sled hill laughin', tumblin' down in the snow Summer find us at the beach or somewhere we ain't ever been before Bridge - slow down, almost spoken I can't do love that only shows up when it needs something from me [pause] I can't keep losin' myself just to make you stay [pause] If I gotta perform to be loved [pause] Then it ain't love at all [pause] If I gotta beg you to stay [pause] Baby just walk away Chorus - Big I wanna build a life that don't need performin' You know my bad parts, I know yours in the mornin' We complement each other, weaknesses and strengths That's how you know it's real when it still makes sense I want little moments that mean everything Rest of our lives, livin' life to the fullest Outro - soft I want road trips and cider mills more than diamond rings A porch light on, your car in the drive, simple things If you get that, you get me I don't need much, just someone real to spend forever with
