[Verse 1]
I wanted to keep your baby but I couldn’t look away
From the thing that held my gaze since the day I was privy to how I could be living
It’s not clear but there’s no rock left unturned here
No, I'm not lost, I have no fear
And I wish the same for you
There’s much left we have yet to conquer
Take it or leave it, you’re in on the secret
You can tell it or keep it, in case you should need it
We'll never know what could have been, what good is speculation
When we’re following the smoke to the fire
[Chorus 1]
Pressed like a flower in a book
Our faces just as they were right then
I dog eared you because we were on the same page
[Verse 2]
I could see your eyes, you were picking through the blinds
You couldn’t bring yourself to let me in and talk you out
How it makes me laugh with relief to leave
By keeping you around, I’m making it so hard on myself
It’s not hard to tell that you don’t know yourself so well
One day you’ll be a man, you won’t care what they say
[Bridge]
I gave it all my heart could hammer
I loved a hole right through the wall
I will be stronger for your slander
So you can let them talk
Go ahead and let them talk
I said just let them talk
What could they say that we haven't thought of
(I've made my mind up)
Let them talk
Nobody could hold us since we know what we want
(I've made my mind up)
Let them talk
[Chorus 2]
Pressed like a flower in a book
Our faces just as they were right then
I dog eared you because we were on the same page
