about this table

Lyrics

You pull a double reverse
I tried grabbing your shirt
The ball pops out to your friend
She slips it to the tight end
I'm running back and forth all through this game
You feel alive when you put me to shame

But in the back of your heart, whoa
In the back of your mind, whoa
In the back of your heart, whoa
In the back of your mind, whoa
In the back of your
Back of your, back of your heart
You're running away
You're running away
You're running away from me
Oh, but in the back of your heart
You still love me

Touchdown, another six points
I need some Bengay for my joints
The rookie is better than me
You don't look but I know that you see
I don't have you under contract no more
So why is your towel on the locker room floor?

'Cause in the back of your heart, whoa
In the back of your mind, whoa
In the back of your heart, whoa
In the back of your mind, whoa
In the back of your
Back of your, back of your heart
You're running away
You're running away
You're running away from me
Oh, but in the back of your heart
You still love me

I've been running laps
I've been running laps
I've been running laps
Got me running miles
Got me running miles
Got me running miles
But it's all in vain
Yes, it's all in vain
Yes, it's all in vain
There's no way to catch up to you
Unless you want me to

But in the back of your heart, whoa
In the back of your mind, whoa
In the back of your heart, whoa
In the back of your mind, whoa
In the back of your
Back of your, back of your heart
You're running away
You're running away
You're running away from me
Oh, but in the back of your heart
You still love me
