Just Fall For Me

Met your big brother
When I was just seventeen
He gave me my first beer
My first light of green

Met your baby sister
When I was a junior in school
We'd lay by the poolside
Drinking keg beer like we were cool

And your momma used to go shopping with me
Your daddy and I used to drink coffee
In the morning air, in your screened-in porch

But you're pushing away
From everything we once were
It's been too long
For this to still hurt
And I made mistakes and it's my fault
But I've grown up since it all
So just fall for me

You did it once, just let it go
Just fall for me

I spent the first football game
At a tailgate next to you
Drinking cheap whiskey
Arguing beer pong rules

You still say how pretty
I was in that little black dress
A Georgia princess
Fell for an Army boy with no secrets

And you danced with me on my twenty-first
Washed away all the hurt
From any other boy before you

But you're pushing away
From everything we once were
It's been too long
For this to still hurt
And I made mistakes and it's my fault
But I've grown up since it all
So just fall for me

You did it once, just let it go
Just fall for me

Maybe we knew something was right all along
Back when we were young & singing silly love songs

But you're pushing away
From everything we once were
It's been too long
For this to still hurt
And I made mistakes and it's my fault
But I've grown up since it all
So just fall for me

You did it once, just let it go
Just fall for me
You once said we were meant to be
Just fall for me
