I wanna hold you in the open
I wanna keep the door from closing, yeah
I wanna see you in the morning
I wanna be there, but I'm boring you
You wanna shove me in the corner
Because you know you're my Madonna, yeah
You want me crying in the courthouse
I'm tired of acting like we're cat and mouse
I miss the days when we were crushing on each other
Now you're just crushing my soul, my lover
I miss the days when you could never love another
Now you're just someone that I'll never recover
I'm drunk and walking past the corner store
And I've been thinking 'bout you more and more
'Cause when you're gone, it all becomes a chore
And then I don't know what I'd do it for
In times like these, the mind becomes a crazy place
I feel like this because I miss your taste
Sometimes I feel like I could leave this place
But then I think about my mother's face
I miss the days when we were crushing on each other
Now you're just crushing my soul, my lover
I miss the days when you could never love another
Now you're just someone that I'll never recover
What if we outlived our lives
And we left the house at different times
And you bumped into another guy?
He looks up at you to catch your eyes
He picks up your things and apologizes
And now he's picking you up at nine
And now we're living in alternate lives
I miss the days when we were crushing on each other
Now you're just crushing my soul, my lover
I miss the days when you could never love another
Now you're just someone that I'll never recover
