We took a weekend, drove to Provo

I wanted you, to love me like you used to do

Most of the time I guess I felt alright

But I wanted you, to love me like you used to do

But you cannot run, And you cannot hide

From the wreck we've made of our house, And the mess inside

And I wanted you, to love me like you used to do

When I felt such love for you I thought my heart was gonna pop
