That Look I Lost
[Verse]
When she's staring down the bad end of the barrel
Of yet another long and loaded night
Boys, you better really sell it when you tell her, "Everything will be alright."
"Everything will be alright."
When every scratch to those rose tinted glasses
Is looking like another crack in the sky
It's hard to hold on so long to nothing
Without reaching for a reason why
[Chorus]
And I'll spend the rest of my life
Dying to find
That look I lost, that look I lost
Dying to find that look I lost in her eye
[Verse]
Some love ain't enough
My money don't stack
We threw everything at it
Our sad little matter-of-fact
It was the matter of fact
Way that she said it
Was a sight to unsee
An unforgettable "forget it"
Just like she flipped a light out on me
[Chorus]
And I'll spend the rest of my life
Dying to find
That look I lost, that look I lost
Dying to find that look I lost in her eye
[Bridge]
It used to look for all the world like I had a next time around
Look alive, son
Ain't no dry run
This thing's going down
[Outro]
And I'll spend the rest of my life
Dying to find
That look I lost, that look I lost
That look I lost, that look I lost
That look I lost, that look I lost
Dying to find that look I lost in her eye
