TN / i always knew

If you ever come to Tennessee

I'd love to show you around

Introduce you to all the previous versions of me

And be your personal tour guide through my home town

Facetime just doesn't do this justice

I want to hold you in my arms

So please wait for me for a few more months

It'll be over before you know it

And long distance is hard but it isn't as strong as us

I don't mean to sound naïve

I just know that I cant love you unless you let me

So if you're willing to wait this out

And take a trip to the deep south

I'll show you why so many songs are about

Tennessee

If we ever get the chance to meet

Think I'll kiss you on the spot

Stop being so scared of what might be

And instead be scared of what might not

Facetime just doesn't do us justice

I gotta hold you in my arms

So please wait for me for a few more months

It'll be over before you know it

And long distance is hard but it isn't as strong as us

I don't mean to sound naïve

I just know that I cant love you unless you let me

So if you're willing to wait this out

And take a trip to the deep south

I'll show you why so many songs are about, Tennessee

If my fears come to fruition

and this ends before you can visit me

I still hope one day you'll go on your own

I don't need to see you to see it

I know that you'll love Tennessee

And you'll agree the sky is just as big here as it is at home

But please wait for me for just a few more months

It'll be over before we know it

And long distance is hard but is it stronger than us?

I don't mean to be naïve

I know I cant love you unless you let me

But if you try to wait this out

I'll book you a flight to the deep south

And show you why I wrote this song about

Tennessee

Maybe I always knew

It wasn't gonna last

The inconvenient truth

Is you can't love someone into loving you back

So even if I didn't always know, I probably should have

Maybe I always knew

It was gonna end like this

If it seems too good to be truth it usually is

So even if I didn't always know I definitely should have

Hindsight's 2020

I should have known the ending before it ever happened

Based off patterns and attention, gambling addictions

I rarely learn but even when I do I never listen
