Song About You

You want a song about a hometown
I got the words that'll show you 'round
I'll take you back like you grew up there
Put the jasmine in the air
How 'bout a song for a heartbreak?
I'll break a heart like an earthquake
Pull the hurt up from the past
And make somebody want somebody back

But baby, the one thing I can't do

I can never write a song about you
Paint a picture perfect view
Of a girl too good to be true
God knows I'm trying to
Yeah, I get 'em pretty close, make 'em sound good
People wouldn't feel it like they should or like I do

I can never write a song about you

You think it would be easy
Like it'll come to me without thinking
It'll be as easy as breathing
To tell 'em all what I'm seeing
Yeah, how you kill me when you kiss me
How you dance when you get tipsy
Baby, one of these days I'll turn the right phrase
Find a way to fit it all on a page

And say I got a song about you
Paint a picture perfect view
Of a girl too good to be true
God knows I'm trying to
Yeah, I get 'em pretty close, make 'em sound good
People wouldn't feel it like they should or like I do
I can never write a song about you

I could write a song about drinking
Or a good time on a feel-good Friday night
But when it comes to you, it's all I wanna do
Sometimes I think I might

Never have a song about you
Or the picture perfect view
Of a girl too good to be true
God knows I'm trying, trying to
Yeah, I get 'em pretty close, make 'em sound good
People wouldn't feel it like they should or like I do
I can never write a song about you

A song about you
I can never write a song about you
