The Kicker lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, it's snowing for the second time this winter
I'm glad I didn't, but I wish I'd kissed her
And I've been contemplating resolutions
I blocked the user but she made a new one
I'm at a loss, why I still can't hate her?
The lines I've crossed for a perfect stranger
Maybe I'm sick and I need an obsession
Maybe it's love and the timing's up to Heaven

[Chorus]
If it's as real as it feels
Wouldn't she be here still?
And my friends say: "Ain't that the kicker?"
Well thеre's a ghost in these walls
Shе says nothing at all
But there ain't a single day I don't feel her
Now every stone has turned
You're a lesson learned
And I'm one that you get to work through
Oh, how dare you say this ain't easy for you?
You get to fall asleep in a bed
With a girl who chose you
(Ain't that the kicker?)

[Verse 2]
I hate that I still wonder if it's what you wanted
You said you're all mine and it left me haunted
If I go crazy, put your name down on the paper
Cause of death: A f*cking serial dater
Maybe I'm mixing up all the signs
You're really not a bad guy
You could even be the one if I let this one slide
There's a lake at the bottom of our river
Baby, you're lucky that I'm such a forgiver
[Chorus]
If it's as real as it feels
Wouldn't she be here still?
And my friends say: "Ain't that the kicker?"
Well there's a ghost in these walls
She says nothing at all
But there ain't a single day I don't feel her
Now every stone has turned
You're a lesson learned
And I'm one that you get to work through
Oh, how dare you say this ain't easy for you
You get to fall asleep in a bed
With a girl who chose you
You chose her too
Ain't that the kicker?
You chose her too
Ain't that the kicker?

[Bridge]
Don't tell me you love me if you don't mean it like that
You don't mean it like that, you don't mean it like that
Don't tell me you're coming back, you don't mean it like that
You don't mean it like that, you don't mean it like that
There's a lake at the bottom of our river (Don't tell me you love me if you don't mean it like that)
Baby, you're lucky that I'm such a forgiver (You don't mean it like that, you don't mean it like that)
There's a lake at the bottom of our river (Don't tell me you're coming back, you don't mean it like that)
Baby, you're lucky that I'm such a forgiver (You don't mean it like that, you don't mean it like that; I search for you in everyone)
There's a lake at the bottom of our river (Don't tell me you love me if you don't mean it like that; I fear I'll never find you)
Baby, you're lucky that I'm such a forgiver (You don't mean it like that, you don't mean it like that; I search for you in everyone)
There's a lake at the bottom of our river (Don't tell me you're coming back, you don't mean it like that; I came here to come unglued)
Why'd the Lord make me such a forgiver? (You don't mean it like that, you don't mean it like that; I search for you in every—)
[Chorus]
If it's as real as it feels
Wouldn't she be here still?
And my friends say: "Ain't that the kicker?"
There's a ghost in these walls
She says nothing at all
But there ain't a single day I don't feel her
Now every stone has turned
You're a lesson learned
And I'm one that you get to work through
Oh, how dare you say this ain't easy for you
You get to fall asleep in a bed
With a girl who chose you
You chose her too
Ain't that the kicker?

[Outro]
Why'd the Lord make me such a forgiver? (It's snowing for the second time this winter)
Ain't that the kicker?
Why'd the Lord make me such a forgiver? (I'm glad I didn't, but I wish I'd kissed her)
Ain't that the kicker?
Why'd the Lord make me such a forgiver? (I chose you, I chose you)
Ain't that the kicker? (The lines I've crossed for a perfect stranger)
Why'd the Lord make me such a forgiver?
Ain't that the kicker?
