[Verse 1] Usually a drink will do the trick Take the edge off quick, sitting in the dark With a shared cigarette Seeing eye-to-eye, and heart-to-heart But maybe I'm just getting old Used to work but now it don't A long gone drive You know the kind where you take a turn And you don't know why But it clears your mind, a surefire cure I need something stronger That'll last a little longer [Chorus] I could use a love song That takes me back, just like that When it comes on To a time when I wouldn't roll my eyes At a guy and a girl Who make it work in a world That for me so far just seems to go so wrong Yeah I could use, I could use a love song [Verse 2] I wish I didn't know so much I peeked behind the curtain Now that magic rush Feels like a trick that isn't working But I haven't lost all hope yet Yeah it's hurting but it ain't dead [Chorus] I could use a love song That takes me back, just like that When it comes on To a time when I wouldn't roll my eyes At a guy and a girl Who make it work in a world That for me so far just seems to go so wrong Yeah I could use, I could use a love song [Bridge] Give me a sign or a rhyme or a reason Just something that I can believe in [Chorus] I could use a love song That takes me back, just like that When it comes on To a time when I wouldn't roll my eyes At a guy and a girl Who make it work in a world That for me so far just seems to go so wrong Yeah I could use Yeah I could use, I could use a love song
