"The Ones That Make It" lyrics

We're on our backs in the cool grass
Outside the airpark
Watch the planes take off and land
And you kiss the freckle on the back of my hand

You're a white shirt, I'm a short skirt
Sometime in August
Elton John in a neighbor's yard
Drinking whiskey out of old jam jars

In a snapshot, a freeze-frame
A moment I see it, I feel it, I know it
If me and you aren't the ones that break it
Me and you will be the ones that make it
Me and you will be the ones that make it

I'm a mistake and an earthquake
You're stable and even
I try to get a rise out of you
But you're always steady like a stone statue

In a snapshot, a freeze-frame
A moment I see it, I feel it, I know it
If me and you aren't the ones that break it
Me and you will be the ones that make it
Me and you will be the ones that make it

In a snapshot, a freeze-frame
A moment I see it, I feel it, I know it
If me and you aren't the ones that break it
Me and you will be the ones that make it
Me and you will be the ones that make it

In the nighttime at the right time
Deep in the city
We're fighting like we sometimes do and I
Can't stop it though I'm trying to
And you tell me you tell me you tell me

I know that life is messy
And I know you're trying to test me
But I promise that I will never leave you
Promise that I will never leave you

In a snapshot, a freeze-frame
A moment I see it, I feel it, I know it
If me and you aren't the ones that break it
Me and you will be the ones that make it
Me and you will be the ones that make it
