When i was younger i saw my daddy cry
and cursed at the wind
he broke his own heart and i watched
as he tried to reasemble it
and my momma swore that she would
never let herself forget
and that was the day that i promised
i'd never sing of love
if it does not exist

[Chorus]
but, darling, you are the only exception [x4]

maybe i know somewhere, deep in my soul
that love never lasts
and we've got to find other ways
to make it alone, and keep a straight face
and i've always live like this
keeping a comfortable distance
up until now i'd sworn to myself
that i'm content with loneliness
because non of it was ever worth the risk

[Chorus]
But you are the only exception [x4]

[Bridge]
I got a tight grip on reality
but i can't let go of whats infront of me here
i know you'll leave me in the morning
when you wake up
leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream
oh, whoa

[CHORUS]
You are the only exception

Oh, and i'm on my way to believing [x2]

Oh star fall down on me
Let me make a wish upon you
Hold on, let me think
Think of what I'm wishing for

Wait, don't go away.
Just not yet.
Cause I thought,
I had it.
But I forget.

And I won't let you fall away,
From me.
You will never fade.
And I won't let you fall away.
From me.
You will never fade away from me.

And now I let my dreams consume me,
And tell me what to think.
But hold on,
Hold on.
What am I dreaming?

Wait, don't go away.
Just not yet.
Cause I thought,
That I had it.
But I forget.

And I won't let you fall away,
From me.
You will never fade away.
I won't let you fall away.
You will never fade away.

And I won't let you fall away.
You will never fade away.
And I won't let you fall away from me,
You will never...

Oh star fall down on me.

When we get home i know we wont be home at all
this place we live
it is not where we belong
and i miss who we were
and the town we could call our own
going back to get away after everything has changed
everything has changed

so we stand here now
and no one knows us at all
i wont get used to this
i wont get used to being gone
and going back wont feel the same if we arent staying
and going back to get away after everything has changed
everything has changed

its taking up our time again
go back we cant, go back at all
its taking up our time again
go back we cant, go back at all

its taking up our time

cause you remind me of a time
when we were so alive
do you remember that?
do you remember that?
