If I wanted to believe you, I guess I could
And if I wanted to understand you, I guess I would
But my days would go blank and I'd be freezing naked
'Cuz stripped of you, well, that's modestly all that I know

So I'm not ready to get over you 'cuz

If I gotta get over you
I gotta get over every piece that puzzled you and me
If I gotta get over you
I gotta get over feeling my heart and tasting and seeing

If I gotta get over you
I gotta get over earth, wind, and fire
Change the soap in the shower
If I gotta get over you
I gotta get over singing this song for hundreds of hours

So boy while you chip in some understanding
I'll make a deal with my mess
And cleaning up what I wanna be saying is my first big step
When I close my eyes and everything I run into
Is stubbing me with bruises of memories of you

I'm not ready to get over you 'cuz

If I gotta get over you
I gotta get over every piece that puzzled you and me
If I gotta get over you
I gotta get over feeling my heart and tasting and seeing

If I gotta get over you
I gotta get over earth, wind, and fire
Change the soap in the shower
If I gotta get over you
I gotta get over singing this song for hundreds of hours

Waffle house jokes and romantic comedies
Avon Cologne and credit card entries
Butter on popcorn and that mercury sable
The whole darn state of North Carolina

My pink leather jacket and cherry hi-c
When I'm finally without you
Can't figure out what will be left of me

If I gotta get over you
I gotta get over every piece that puzzled you and me
If I gotta get over you
I gotta get over feeling my heart and tasting and feeling

If I gotta get over you
I gotta get over earth, wind, and fire
Change the soap in the shower
If I gotta get over you
I gotta stop singing this song for hundreds of hours
