Love of My Life

Lyrics

The love of my life is in a hotel in Michigan Riding the elevator down to reception To ask the nice lady at the front desk If she would put a bandaid on the back of his head [Pre-Chorus] She wouldn't, so he just threw his shit in the car Grabbed a couple bottles from the minibar Trying to make light conversation with the wannabes Trying to watch the opener hiding in the gallery [Chorus] What if I got what I wanted? What if I was who I wanna be? What if I got what I wanted? What if I knew how to be? [Verse 2] The love of my life wants to grow up funny-looking Travel thе world and raise some good-for-nothing kids In an old red housе by the river And die ignoring a black spot on his liver [Pre-Chorus] But he's drunk at the venue Stumbling through the encore Talking up a blue streak Smoking by the stage door Calling me before he falls asleep Doesn't think I'd last a week out there That's fair but [Chorus] What if I got what I wanted? What if I was who I wanna be? What if I got what I wanted? What if I knew how to be? [Instrumental Solo] [Bridge] Now he's making the bed like a Vietnam vet But it's not God and country, it's his mom in his head And he's reading out loud from "Walk Two Moons" Feeling all proud 'cause he taught me to Play that guitar collecting dust in the corner And open up a beer bottle with a quarter [Chorus] And what if I got what I wanted? What if I was who I wanna be? What if I got what I wanted? In love with the person who's in love with me?
