lyrics

She’s the girl you never get over
She’s the girl who’s in every song
She’s the girl you know who will still pop into your head
20 years down when you’re driving alone

She’s the girl you never saw coming
The only one you couldn’t predict
She rolled through town like some hurricane wind
And swept your old life away life it wasn’t even yours to begin with

You think you found a way
To make a getaway
But in the end you’re just spinning your wheels

‘Cause she won’t last for ever
She is now or never
She won’t be there when you wake
And she’s not the girl you end up with
She’s just the one you’re happy to run with
For a little while ‘til she leaves you in the dust
And I know you’re a doubter
And you’ll try to change her
But boys can never hold onto the wind
But you can try to pretend

She’s the girl of every lost summer
She’s the girl who ruled all your nights
Trespassing on some beach you didn’t even know
Skinny dipping underneath the stars

She’s the girl you thought you were in love with
Back before you knew what love was
She was your teenage dream wrapped up in a red sundress
And she’s never coming back, boy, and you know it

She made a getaway
Left earlier today
And now you’re sitting here wondering what went wrong

‘Cause she won’t last for ever
She is now or never
She won’t be there when you wake
And she’s not the girl you end up with
She’s just the one you’re happy to run with
For a little while ‘til she leaves you in the dust
And I know you’re a doubter
And you’ll try to change her
But boys can never hold onto the wind
But you can try to pretend

Some nights she seems so close
Like lightning crashing off the road
But I know that she’s as far
As shooting stars out in the dark
And if she never thinks of me
That’s fine
I don’t need her to
I wish I didn’t think of her
But I can’t help it where my mind goes
When it’s dark and I’m the only one around

‘Cause she won’t last for ever
She is now or never
She won’t be there when you wake
And she’s not the girl you end up with
She’s just the one you’re happy to run with
For a little while ‘til she leaves you in the dust
And I know you’re a doubter
And you’ll try to change her
But boys can never hold onto the wind
But you can try to pretend
