How We Got It Right

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your jacket in the back of my car A busted zipper and a movie stub I drove past the diner where we used to kill time And took the long way just because [Pre-Chorus] The clock keeps chewing up the afternoon I keep pretending I’ve got nothing to lose [Chorus] We were young enough to call it a plan Two cheap tickets and a map in your hand If the whole thing falls apart tonight I’ll still remember how we got it right [Verse 2] Your old apartment had a crooked front step A stack of records leaning by the door You said, “Someday we’ll get out of this town” Then laughed and asked what we were waiting for [Pre-Chorus] The clock keeps chewing up the afternoon I keep pretending I’ve got nothing to lose [Chorus] We were young enough to call it a plan Two cheap tickets and a map in your hand If the whole thing falls apart tonight I’ll still remember how we got it right [Bridge] Maybe we missed every exit sign Maybe we changed our minds in time But when you call, I still pick up Like that old promise was enough [Final Chorus] We were young enough to call it a plan Two cheap tickets and a map in your hand If the whole thing falls apart tonight I’ll still remember how we got it right We were young enough to call it a plan Two cheap tickets and a map in your hand If the whole thing falls apart tonight I’ll still remember how we got it right [Outro] How we got it right How we got it right
