[About The Song] [Verse 1] I fell in love with my best friend But it's not the same old shit again No more waiting up 'til three A.M. just for a text that says "k" I fell in love with my best friend And everything makes sense again No more crying on the night of my biggest birthday [Pre-Chorus] You're precious when you make me cry You're precious when you count to five You're precious when you sing So precious even when you try to be menacing [Chorus] I got the key to the city, I just need you to drive me home 'Cause I don't think I could live another day alone I don't know the words to your favorite song But I know you wouldn't do me any wrong My December's long gone and January's finally coming along [Verse 2] You came over last night and fell asleep in my bed And since then you've been fully awake in my head If it were up to me, I sincerely think you would never ever leave Thought I'd be alone but I'd like this instead Rings in orange juice, no longer queuing dread There we were, sitting there, hiding our affection in a door frame [Pre-Chorus] You're precious when you walk me home in the snow You're precious when you're drunk and making stupid jokes You're precious when you make my mind race So precious even when you're leaving my place [Chorus] I got the key to the city, I just need you to drive me home 'Cause I don't think I could live another day alone I don't know the words to your favorite song But I know you wouldn't do me any wrong My December's long gone and January's finally coming along [Bridge] Now I'm getting your pennant in September And bit you for a reason we can't remember And nothing has ever felt quite this alive The clock keeps winding on and on Sitting here without you feels helplessly wrong And I'm really glad you decided to take that dive [Chorus] I got the key to the city, I just need you to drive me home 'Cause I don't think I could live another day alone I don't know the words to your favorite song But I know you wouldn't do me any wrong My December's long gone and January's finally coming along
