Take the edge off quick, sittin' in the dark

With a shared cigarette

Seeing eye-to-eye, and heart-to-heart

But maybe I'm just gettin' old

Used to work but now it don't

A long gone drive

You know the kind where you take a turn and you don't know why

But it clears your mind, a surefire cure

I need somethin' stronger

That'll last a little longer

I could use a love song

That takes me back, just like that

When it comes on

To a time when I wouldn't roll my eyes

At a guy and a girl

Who make it work in a world

That for me so far just seems to go so wrong

Yeah I could use, I could use a love song

I wish I didn't know so much

I peeked behind the curtain

Now that magic rush

Feels like a trick that isn't workin'

But I haven't lost all hope yet

Yeah it's hurtin' but it ain't dead

I could use a love song

That takes me back, just like that

When it comes on

To a time when I wouldn't roll my eyes

At a guy and a girl

Who make it work in a world

That for me so far just seems to go so wrong

Yeah I could use, I could use a love song

Give me a sign or a rhyme or a reason

Just somethin' that I can believe in

I could use a love song

That takes me back, just like that

When it comes on

To a time when I wouldn't roll my eyes

At a guy and a girl

Who make it work in a world

That for me so far just seems to go so wrong

Yeah I could use

Yeah I could use, I could use a love song
