"500 Nights" lyrics

"500 Nights"

Tonight on Asher's porch
I swear I heard you laugh like you did when we first met
I tried to catch your eye
But you're too damn stubborn now let me in

Five hundred nights spent by your side
And I could've spent five hundred more
But this lonely mind, it needs some time
These lonely dreams need somethin' to work t'wards

It's easy to talk about the past
Wishin' that time was in a frame upon your bookshelf
I saw you crying in Beau's lap
Talkin' about life as if it was somethin' you could pass or fail
But it doesn't have to be a test
All the things we did, all the things we said, there's no use dwellin' in
No, it's the whiskey on your breath
That's keeping you in a state of remembrance

Five hundred nights spent by your side
And I could've spent five hundred more
We're livin' in restless times, no one wants to be tied
To the selflessness of every hour

Five hundred nights
Five hundred nights
