"Things You Didn't See" lyrics

"Things You Didn't See"

Yeah, I packed that Malibu from floor to ceiling
With only fifty bucks, some clothes shoved in a bag
Who knew Mom and Dad were in their final season
And that old house would be foreclosed when I got back?
You think that you know me
But how 'bout all the things you didn't see?

The Craigslist roommates, or the break-ins
Or that whole month I spent in school before I dropped out
Selling dumpster-diving treasures just to make it
That girl do anything to be where I am now
You think that you know me

You see the highlights, the midnights
The beer and gasoline
See the golden, wide-open road
Just running down a dream
Everybody's got a hurting heart they're hiding underneath
You think that you know me
But how 'bout all the things you didn't see?

I spent all my young years hating on my body
I ran out crying on my not-so-sweet sixteen
Thought I'd play forever in that hotel lobby
Singing "Jesus, Take The Wheel" and "Kerosene"
You think that you know me

You see the highlights, the midnights
The beer and gasoline
See the golden, wide-open road
Just running down a dream
Everybody's got a hurting heart they're hiding underneath
You think that you know me
But how 'bout all the things you didn't see?
Things you didn't see

Well, you say you wanna get to know me better
Meet the girl I was back then and not just now
If we're gonna ride the highs, we'll ride the lows together
'Cause you're the kinda guy I'd like to stick around

You see the highlights, the midnights
The beer and gasoline
See the golden, wide-open road
Just running down a dream
Everybody's got a hurting heart they're hiding underneath
You think that you know me
But how 'bout all the things you didn't see
Things you didn't see
