From The Start by Matt Schuster Lyrics
[Verse 1]
L-shaped bar, you were leaning against it
Something 'bout you, baby, you were hitting me different
The band was playin' loud, yeah, but I couldn't listen
I was locked onto you, it was all tunnel vision
Maybe it was the midnight or maybe just a buzz, yeah
But it sure felt like love
[Chorus]
Why did you hit me with that brown eyed, drop dead stare at the bar?
Why did you reach for my hand and try to pull me back into your car?
Why did you kiss me in the backseat out under the stars?
Why weren't there warnings until you were dead set on breaking my heart?
I guess it didn't stick, now the taste of my lips on your lips in the dark
Why did you kiss me if you knew that it was over
Already over, over, over from the start?
[Verse 2]
'Cause locking me down never was your intentions
I'm just another ex, just an honorable mention
You probably threw out all our memories but I can't forget 'em
A couple million questions, all the answers are missing
I was love drunk, you were love buzzed just looking for that rush
Baby you were fiendin', gave you what you needed, now you're done
[Chorus]
Why did you hit me with that brown eyed, drop dead stare at the bar?
Why did you reach for my hand and try to pull me back into your car?
Why did you kiss me in the backseat out under the stars?
Why weren't there warning until you were dead set on breaking my heart?
I guess it didn't stick, now the taste of my lips on your lips in the dark
Why did you kiss me if you knew that it was over
Already over, over, over from the start?
[Bridge]
Friends said I should've seen this coming
Mama said I should've never started lovin'
Long gone and I'm wishing she wasn't
Guess mama was right, I should've never started lovin'
[Chorus]
Why did you hit me with that brown eyed, drop dead stare at the bar?
Why did you reach for my hand and try to pull me back into your car?
Why did you kiss me in the backseat out under the stars?
Why weren't there be warning until you were dead set on breaking my heart?
I guess it didn't stick, now the taste of my lips on your lips in the dark
Why did you kiss me if you knew that it was over
Already over, over, over from the start?
L-shaped bar, you were leaning against it
Something 'bout you, baby, you were hitting me different
The band was playin' loud, yeah, but I couldn't listen
I was locked onto you, it was all tunnel vision
Maybe it was the midnight or maybe just a buzz, yeah
But it sure felt like love
[Chorus]
Why did you hit me with that brown eyed, drop dead stare at the bar?
Why did you reach for my hand and try to pull me back into your car?
Why did you kiss me in the backseat out under the stars?
Why weren't there warnings until you were dead set on breaking my heart?
I guess it didn't stick, now the taste of my lips on your lips in the dark
Why did you kiss me if you knew that it was over
Already over, over, over from the start?
