[Verse 1]
Take a bow
For one more second just stand like that
Yeah you make me proud
In your yellow dress
Expect nothing less than beauty
At its finest
I need more time

[Chorus]
But see the truth is
Baby, if we were only older
I could be your permanent shoulder
To lean on
But lean on me
And the fact is
We're separated in our lifetime
Stuck between futures and state lines

[Verse 2]
Promised I'd make the trip
I'm a little too scared to come up
And find we've been faking it
Pretty soon I'll be out on the road
You know how that goes
We're bound to find someone new
Is it selfish that I don't want you to

[Refrain]
Stuck in these state lines
Between these state lines
Ooh no no
Mmm mmm mmm

[Chorus]
But see the truth is
Baby, if we were only older
I could be your permanent shoulder
To lean on
But lean on me
And the fact is
We're separated in our lifetime
Stuck between futures and state lines

[Post-Chorus]
But is okay to love you
When your hands push slow up against my skin
Is it okay to love you
When we're chilling in my sheets til the late AM
Is it okay to love you
When you're going off to college so it makes no sense
Is it okay to love you
When it's gonna hurt more at the end
Is it okay
Mmm is it okay

[Bridge]
And after all this
If I could find a way back to your lips
And we could make up for the memories we missed

[Chorus 1]
But see the truth is
Baby, if we were only older
I could be your permanent shoulder
To lean on
But lean on me
And the fact is
We're separated in our lifetime
Stuck between futures and state lines

[Refrain]
Oh oh
Stuck in these state lines
Between these state lines
Ooh no no
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
