When you finally arrived
At the party on Saturday night
I had been waiting in anticipation
So could you excuse my weird vibe
Well, you pulled up a chair
And we stripped down to our underwear
You grabbed my hand, and we jumped right in
To what I thought would be forever
Oh, things can seem so right when they’re rolling
You’re holding me tight, there’s a knowing
That things can only get better and better
Then we came up for air
And suddenly you didn’t seem to care
We ran away in different directions
And I fell back to earth
I look back at your body
It’s getting smaller as you’re walking away
And I’m reminded of when I couldn’t tell
Where you ended and I began
Oh, I had written our story before it
Had earned its glory
Without you, things can only get better and better
Oh, things can seem so right when they’re rolling
You’re holding me tight, there’s a knowing
That things can only get better and better
Oh, I had written our story before it
Had earned its glory
Without you, things can only get better and better
