Josh Kerr - Love Me Now Lyrics

I'm standing on the 50 yard line
On the cold grey metal bleachers
Our old high school
With the ghost of our old teachers
We flipped the tassel and graduated
We broke up and matriculated
To institutions of higher learning
Candles at the both ends burning
Baby don't the world keep turning

I guess standing here I was thinking
As our hometown sundown is slowly sinking
My brains a diesel train down the track
Saying you can come home, but you can't go back You're happy and I'm happy, we moved on
But sometimes I miss you so strong
Can't help but sing along to our song
And I didn't appreciate you then
You probably hate me but in my defense
I didn't know that I didn't know how
I wish you could love me now
Baby now that I know how

I was a boy tryna love a woman but now I'm a man who knows how to keep a promise
That's a start, cross my heart hope to die kinda honest
I still taste that first kiss when the rain turned into tears in the mist on my windshield
I admit I'm kinda broken but I'll heal

I guess standing here I was thinking
As our hometown sundown is slowly sinking
My brains a diesel train down the track
Saying you can come home, but you can't go back You're happy and I'm happy, we moved on
But sometimes I miss you so strong
Can't help but sing along to our song
And I didn't appreciate you then
You probably hate me but in my defense
I didn't know that I didn't know how
I wish you could love me now

Baby I wish you could love me now
Oh I swear that I know how
Baby I wish you could love me now

Now that we're so much wiser, a little older
Close my eyes and I still see you in my faded blue Malibu
Remember when you loved me too?

I guess standing here I was thinking
As our hometown sundown is slowly sinking
My brains a diesel train down the track
Saying you can come home, but you can't go back You're happy and I'm happy, we moved on
But sometimes I miss you so strong
Can't help but sing along to our song
And I didn't appreciate you then
You probably hate me but in my defense
I didn't know that I didn't know how
I wish you could love me now
Baby now that I know how

I wish you could love me now
I don't blame you if you hate me
Honestly baby
I wish you could love me now
