[Intro]
Ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
Today is the first day of the rest of our lives
Tomorrow is too late to pretend everything's alright, now
I'm not getting any younger as long as you don't get any older
I'm not going to say that yesterday never was
[Pre-Chorus]
Bloodshot deadbeat and lack of sleep
Making your mascara bleed
Tears down your face, leaving traces of my mistakes
When I say
[Chorus]
If I promise to go to church on Sunday
Will you go with me on Friday night?
If you live with me, I'll die for you and this compromise
[Verse 2]
I hereby solemnly swear to tell the whole truth
And nothing but the truth is what I'll ever hear from you, now
"Trust" is a dirty word that comes from such a liar
But "respect" is something I will earn if you have faith
[Pre-Chorus]
Bloodshot deadbeat and lack of sleep
Making your mascara bleed
Tears down your face, leaving traces of my mistakes
When I say
[Chorus]
If I promise to go to church on Sunday
Will you go with me on Friday night?
If you live with me, I'll die for you and this compromise
If I promise to go to church on Sunday
Will you go with me on Friday night?
If you live with me, I'll die for you and this compromise
[Bridge]
Let's go!
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
If I promise to go to church on Sunday
Will you go with me on Friday night?
If you live with me, I'll die for you and this compromise
If I promise to go to church on Sunday
Will you go with me on Friday night?
If you live with me, I'll die for you and this compromise
[Outro]
And this compromise
Yes, I'll compromise
Ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
Today is the first day of the rest of our lives
Tomorrow is too late to pretend everything's alright, now
I'm not getting any younger as long as you don't get any older
I'm not going to say that yesterday never was
[Pre-Chorus]
Bloodshot deadbeat and lack of sleep
Making your mascara bleed
Tears down your face, leaving traces of my mistakes
When I say
[Chorus]
If I promise to go to church on Sunday
Will you go with me on Friday night?
If you live with me, I'll die for you and this compromise
[Verse 2]
I hereby solemnly swear to tell the whole truth
And nothing but the truth is what I'll ever hear from you, now
"Trust" is a dirty word that comes from such a liar
But "respect" is something I will earn if you have faith
[Pre-Chorus]
Bloodshot deadbeat and lack of sleep
Making your mascara bleed
Tears down your face, leaving traces of my mistakes
When I say
[Chorus]
If I promise to go to church on Sunday
Will you go with me on Friday night?
If you live with me, I'll die for you and this compromise
If I promise to go to church on Sunday
Will you go with me on Friday night?
If you live with me, I'll die for you and this compromise
[Bridge]
Let's go!
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
If I promise to go to church on Sunday
Will you go with me on Friday night?
If you live with me, I'll die for you and this compromise
If I promise to go to church on Sunday
Will you go with me on Friday night?
If you live with me, I'll die for you and this compromise
[Outro]
And this compromise
Yes, I'll compromise
