2009 I Dropped The Ball Lyrics by John Michael Howell

2022

[Verse 1]
2009, put my heart on the line
Thought that I could survive without you
Guess I was right, but now I'm missin' the sky
And how I looked in your eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll never forget the day I left Fort Worth for California
Don't say that I didn't warn ya
Lord knows how badly I miss ya
And I still do
[Chorus]
But I dropped the ball and now it's in your court
Could you love me again? Could you love me at all?
I'll admit I was wrong, but I was only a kid
Could we make our amends? Could we mend this at all?
I'm not askin' for a rebound, rebound
Just miss the days when you were around, around
People askin' how it went down, went down
That's exactly how it went down, straight down, mm-mm
[Post-Chorus]
Hmm-mm (Hmm-mm-mm), hmm-mm (Hmm-mm-mm)
Hmm-mm (Hmm-mm-mm), hmm-mm, mm-mm
Hmm-mm (Hmm-mm-mm), hmm-mm (Hmm-mm-mm)
Hmm-mm (Hmm-mm-mm)
[Verse 2]
Day 825, got you stuck in my mind
While I'm stuck and I'm lyin', oh my, my (Hmm)
Told myself I'd be fine, herе in terminal nine
Wherе me and you used to fly, guess I lied
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll never forget the times you left Fort Worth to come to Nashville
Every moment then was special
'Cause you were really somethin' special
Wish that I could back, like
[Chorus]
But I dropped the ball and now it's in your court
Could you love me again? Could you love me at all?
I'll admit I was wrong, but I was only a kid
Could we make our amends? Could we mend this at all?
I'm not askin' for a rebound, rebound
Just miss the days when you were around, around
People askin' how it went down, went down
That's exactly how it went down, straight down, mm-mm
[Post-Chorus]
Hmm-mm (Hmm-mm-mm), hmm-mm (Hmm-mm-mm)
Hmm-mm (Hmm-mm-mm), hmm-mm, mm-mm
Hmm-mm (Hmm-mm-mm), hmm-mm (Hmm-mm-mm)
Hmm-mm (Hmm-mm-mm)
[Outro]
2005, bounce on some Friar Drive, we turned six the same time
But things are so different these days
'Cause now I'm livin' the life, makin' music full-time
But you're never by my side
