This is what I heard. I couldn't work out the fast part in the bridge, though: He comes on over, wants to drown his sorrows on the,
Two-seat sofa and some whiskey in a bottle
Broken tears with the weight of the world on his shoulders
Oh my God Sam, what’s happened to your senses?
Wife’s just left with a two year-old daughter
Driven Acapulco with some idiots you met a couple months ago.
I wish I could tell you that
If it was me, I would be a good wife,
I would never doubt you,
Ours would be a good life
We could be better than so many
I would never stress you about bringing home the plenty
For all these things, another life I’ll have to wait,
Life could be perfect, if only God had wanted it,
You’ll never know it, we’ll get old,
Let’s not talk about it, rest your head upon my shoulder
You'll never know, you'll never know, you'll never know the good life, You'll never know the good life, You'll never know the good life
Somebody once told me that there are watchers and there are doers in this world,
Guess I’m a watcher, not by choice, it’s just what I deserve,
We’re just two friends, it ain’t a risky situation
I wish I could tell you that
If it was me, I would be a good wife,
I would never doubt you,
Ours would be a good life
We could be better than so many
I would never stress you about bringing home the plenty
For all these things, another life I’ll have to wait,
Life could be perfect, if only God had wanted it,
You’ll never know it, we’ll get old,
Let’s not talk about it, rest your head upon my shoulder
You'll never know, you'll never know, you'll never know the good life, You'll never know the good life, You'll never know the good life
Rest your head upon my shoulder
Now that life’s a little colder
Even if you’ll never know
My love will never hurt the sunshine (?)
We’ll keep (?) about the good time
For all these things, another life I’ll have to wait,
Life could be perfect, if only God had wanted it,
You’ll never know it, we’ll get old,
Let’s not talk about it, rest your head upon my shoulder
You'll never know, you'll never know, you'll never know the good life, You'll never know the good life, You'll never know the good life
