Glistening grass from September rain Gray overpass full of neon names You drive (Mm-mm) eighty-five (Mm-mm) Gallatin Road and the Lakeside Beach Watching the game from your brother's Jeep Your smile (Mm-mm) miles wide And it was not an invitation Should've kissed you anyway Should've kissed you anyway And it was not convenient, no But your girlfriend was away Should've kissed you anyway, hey-ey Shiny wood floors underneath my feet Disco ball makes everything look cheap Have fun (Mm-mm), it's prom (Mm-mm) Wilted corsage dangles from my wrist Over his shoulder, I catch a glimpse And see (Mm-mm) you lookin' at me And it was not an invitation But as the 50 Cent song played Should've kissed you anyway And it was not convenient, no Would've been the best mistake Should've kissed you anyway, hey-ey Don't make it awkward in second period Might piss your ex off, lately we've been good Staying friends is safe, doesn't mean you should Don't make it awkward in second period Might piss your ex off, lately we've been good Staying friends is safe, doesn't mean you should When I left school, I lost track of you Abigail called me with the bad news Goodbye, and we'll never know why It was not an invitation But I flew home anyway With so much left to say It was not convenient, no But I whispered at the grave "Should've kissed you anyway" Oh, and it was not an invitation Should've kissed you anyway Should've kissed you anyway, anyway And it was not My advice is to always ruin the friendship Better that than regret it for all time Should've kissed you anyway And my advice is to always answer the question Better that than to ask it all your life Should've kissed you anyway Should've kissed you anyway
