Before You

Stupid boar in the wild didn't wanna be roped in
So I put a no trespassing sign on my barbed-wire heart fence
All the meaningless, temporary highs I was chasin' after
Every long-gone heartbreak goodbye didn't even matter

Before you, I was burnin' that midnight crazy
Thought heaven was in the hell-raisin'
A windin' road didn't know need straightin', no, no
Before you, I was half the man I am now, baby
Didn't know it was always you I was cravin'
If I could go back and rewrite pages

I know what I'd do
I'd step on the gas
And I'd hurry up through
All those wasted nights on love I thought I knew
Yeah, before you

I'd give you that first kiss in that field on that Saturday
Girl, I'd give you that first sunset drop on a hood on a Chevrolet
You'd be my dance to every song I ever heard
Be my forever days, my saving grace, and that bible verse

Before you, I was burnin' that midnight crazy
Thought heaven was in the hell-raisin'
A windin' road didn't know need straightin', no, no
Before you, I was half the man I am now, baby
Didn't know it was always you I was cravin'
If I could go back and rewrite pages

I know what I'd do
I'd step on the gas
And I'd hurry up through
All those wasted nights on love I thought I knew
Yeah, before you
Before you
Before you

I never thought I'd fly to an island to get down on one knee
I never thought I'd find a girl worth the ring

Before you, I thought heaven was in the hell-raisin'
Before you, I was a lost soul didn't know need savin'
Before you, I was half the man I am now, baby
Didn't know it was you I was cravin'
If I could go back and rewrite pages

I know what I'd do
I'd step on the gas
And I'd hurry up through
All those wasted nights on love I thought I knew
Before you, before you
Before you
