lyrics

With a name like holy water on ice
And a splash of dark whiskey with a little spice
She descended from the sky, a halo on top
But I put away my ring, cause everyone thought

We were just two stupid teenagers in love
Nobody told me she was sent down from above
I didn’t need them to, she gave off the vibe
That was the last time I felt that I was alive

See I’ve been pegged as a regular guy
I put my pants on one leg at a time
I mess up, I move on, and God only knows
That I’m a good willed person with a heart of silver


Oh I’m just a Jay but I’d like be Joe
Cause he’s not dumb enough to let you go
I wish I had another chance, but it’s too much to ask
I would’ve danced both my legs off if I knew it was our last

Now he’s her King making love to his Queen
On the blanket that I gave you when you turned eighteen
I’m just a jester on the floor with a bottle of wine
So I’ll crack another joke and just pretend that I’m fine


They say it seems like I messed up I say that they’re wrong
They think I’ll end up lonely writing sad love songs
I say that’s cheesy but it turned out to be true
So you can kiss my ass because I have a heart too

Now sometimes I’ll think when I look up at the sky, when you get
Lucky for a second in the blink of an eye
That luck can turn to regret, your blue sky to grey
Even the prettiest clouds will fade away

And even if your day starts out with a pain
In your heart, someday you’ll find someone who loves the rain
As much as you do, so pick up your head
She’s probably watching the storm from her window in bed


Oh I’m just a Jay but I’d like be Joe
Cause he’s not dumb enough to let you go
I wish I had another chance, but it’s too much to ask
I would’ve danced both my legs off if I knew it was our last

Now he’s her King making love to his Queen
On the blanket that I gave you when you turned eighteen
I’m just a jester on the floor with a bottle of wine
So I’ll crack another joke and just pretend that I’m fine


Now this’ll mean nothing as time goes by
Because you’ll never hear these words and you’ll forget you cried
When I dug out a hole for your heart
So I could bury it deep in the ground in the dark

The sun sets down as the story goes
She’s falling asleep with Not Your Average Joe
And she’s burned the book of her and Jay
While I read it every night and every coming day


Oh I’m just a Jay but I’d like be Joe
Cause he’s not dumb enough to let you go
I wish I had another chance, but it’s too much to ask
I would’ve danced both my legs off if I knew it was our last

Now he’s her King making love to his Queen
On the blanket that I gave you when you turned eighteen
I got my feet on the floor but my heart’s in the sky
I think I'll learn to love again and you're the reason why
