[Every Time] [Verse 1] I still measure mornings by the space you left behind Coffee’s just a habit now, black and bitter every time I let a few get close enough to think they might belong But I’m already checkin’ out before the second song [Chorus] I wish every time was like my time with you When the air felt lighter and every word felt so true Your hand on my chest like you were readin’ what I couldn’t say We didn’t chase the feeling; the feeling chased us that way Lord, I wish every time was like my time with you [Verse 2] I’ve kissed some soft goodnights that never saw the dawn Woke up next to strangers who were already gone They ask me where I’m at; I say I’m fine and look away Truth is I’m still parked out back with you and yesterday [Chorus] I wish every time was like my time with you When silence wasn’t empty and leavin’ wasn’t what we’d do We laid there like the world could wait its turn outside that door Never knew a single night could settle up a lifetime’s score Yeah, I wish every time was like my time with you [Bridge – steel guitar, low and lonesome] I don’t need a second chance I just need that one again [Final Chorus – raw, no harmony, just truth] I wish every time was like my time with you When I wasn’t half a man still tryin’ to follow you You never asked for forever; you just gave me one damn night And I’ve been spendin’ every one since then tryin’ to get it right God, I wish every time was like my time with you [Outro – voice and a single guitar string bending slow] Every time since you Just proves one time was all I ever knew I wish every time Was still my time with you
