lyrics

Thursday morning one week after the 4th of July
We wake up early even though we'd been up most the night
I smoke a cigarette do my best to sober up
It's hard to remember how I ever got so stuck

The beautiful blonde girl tosses and turns in my bed
She says her name is Jordan she sounds like the songs I hear in my head
And as the day passes us by we sit on the porch and get high
She makes sure I know she won't be only mine

But then she takes off her clothes
She does what she knows
I wanna tell her I'd be only hers
But every time she turns around I lose my nerve

She says she doesn't wear her glasses out in public anymore
But I wanna tell Jordan she'd be beautiful no matter what she wore
And my friends say don't give it all away they'll be another day
And plenty of other girls coming your way

But then, Jordan strikes a pose
And I let it go
I wanna hear all there is to know
Cause when Jordan smiles there's something hiding below

And now as evening descends
I do my best to pretend
This don't ever have to end
But I know it will, I know it will
And as the world lays down to sleep
I pray that Jordan will stay here with me
And if I gave her my heart to keep
Would she keep it safe
Or carelessly?

But then, she turns on her smile
And my whole world's on fire
I wonder if she slept here every night
Would I ever turn off the lights
