[Verse 1]
Got some coffee in Albuquerque
We burned both our mouths
We walked in fifteen minutes
Before they kicked us out
You met Sarah's mom and dad
We slept in their guest house
Sherry made us pancakes right
Before we headed south

[Chorus]
Maybe looking back, we lost it all
In Arkansas
God, what I saw, LOL

[Verse 2]
Your soft-top convertible
Can't keep the downpour out
All caught in a Motel 6
(??) AC was out
Took a detour to Hot Springs
To get you your passport
Get you to the Philippines
You put it off before

[Chorus]
Maybe looking back, we lost it all
In Arkansas
God, what you saw, LOL

[Bridge]
You said to back away from you
Damn, you were scared of the things you would do
Reached out and handed keys
Then you recommended that one of us should leave
Stopped me from picking up my bags
So tell me, what's the point in getting that
[bad]
[back] (??)?
Well, you tried, but you never could
You don't fit like a good pair of shoes would

[Outro]
Oh, it's been almost six months, I can't believe you had my touch
Oh, you met me when I was nineteen, oh, how'd you know I bleed naive?
Hey, it's been a while, uh
I was thinking about you
