Ruin The Friendship

Glistening grass from September rain
Gray overpass full of neon names
You drive, 85
Gallatin Road and the lakeside beach
Watching the game from your brother′s Jeep
Your smile, miles wide

And it was not an invitation
Should’ve kissed you anyway
Should′ve kissed you anyway
And it was not convenient, no
But your girlfriend was away
Should’ve kissed you anyway

Shiny wood floors underneath my feet
Disco ball makes everything look cheap
Have fun, it’s prom
Wilted corsage dangles from my wrist
Over his shoulder I catch a glimpse
And see … You looking at me
And it was not an invitation
But as the 50 Cent song played
Should′ve kissed you anyway
And it was not convenient, no
Would′ve been the best mistake
Should’ve kissed you anyway
Don′t make it awkward in second period
Might tick your ex off, lately we’ve been good
Staying friends is safe
Doesn′t mean you should
Don’t make it awkward in second period
Might tick your ex off, lately we′ve been good
Staying friends is safe
Doesn’t mean you should
When I left school I lost track of you
Abigail called me with the bad news
Goodbye
And we’ll never know why

It was not an invitation
But I flew home anyway
With so much left to say
It was not convenient, no
But I whispered at the grave
“Should′ve kissed you anyway.”
And it was not an invitation
Should′ve kissed you anyway
Should’ve kissed you anyway
And it was not

My advice is always ruin the friendship
Better that than regret it
For all time
Should′ve kissed you anyway
And my advice is always answer the question
Better that than to ask it
All your life

Should’ve kissed you anyway
Should′ve kissed you anyway
