[Verse]

Last night, everything was movin' so fast

I could barely keep track

Oh, of my offenses or your defenses

In hindsight, I woulda, coulda, shoulda not gone there

But left without a word to spare

Was it your offenses or my defensiveness


[Pre-Chorus]

That's got me thinkin' that we're never gonna get it right

I wanna straighten this before the sun goes down tonight

If I could only fight the bitterness I feel inside

This thing is eatin' me alive


[Chorus]

Well, I'm right here, and you're right there

And God knows we got to start somewhere

'Cause I'm messed up, and you're broken

And those shots we fired are still smokin'

If I'm right here, and you're right there

And God knows we got to start somewhere

'Cause I'm messed up, and you're broken

And those shots we fired

Shots we fired are still smokin'


[Verse]

I'm tossin' and turnin' on the things I'd undo

As I wrestle with the painful truth

Oh, my sleep escapes me as guilt berates me

Exhausted, the memories are drawing so near

I can see it like a world premiere

When did my objective lose all objectiveness


[Pre-Chorus]

That's got me thinkin' that we're never gonna get it right

I wanna straighten this before the sun goes down tonight

If I could only fight the bitterness I feel inside

This thing is eatin' me alive

This thing is eatin' me alive


[Chorus]

Well, I'm right here, and you're right there

And God knows we got to start somewhere

'Cause I'm messed up, and you're broken

And those shots we fired are still smokin'

If I need you, and you need me

How can you turn your back and just leave me?

When I'm right here, and you're right there

And God knows we got to start somewhere


[Bridge]

I said some things that I regret

And if I could, I'd take 'em back

If I could turn my words around

You wouldn't hear a sound

But here I am, and there you are

The space between us is not so far

I'm reaching out my hand in love

Before the fading sun

Forgive me for what I've done

(Hey, hey)

(Hey, hey)

(Hey, hey)

(Hey, hey)


[Chorus]

Well, I'm right here (right here), and you're right there (right there)

And God knows we got to start somewhere (start somewhere)

'Cause I'm messed up (messed up), and you're broken (broken)

And those shots we fired are still smokin' (Ooh, yeah)

If I need you (if I need you), and you need me (Yeah)

How can you turn your back and just leave me?

When I'm right here (right here), and you're right there (right there)

And God knows we got to start somewhere


[Outro]

(Ooh, yeah)

Dude, the gun shot's gotta go, man. That's it, I mean, enough is enough, good grief...
