now that i love you, i wish we'd never met

i've recently rediscovered my love for gavin degraw's music. listened to this song today and quickly became obsessed. enjoy the lyrics!

there's no need to beg, babe, that's my open pocket
you take the money from me, i can scrounge
gave me a fever that will not come down
you're a young woman cast aside
ostracized, left on the sidewalk of my lonely life

for the young lovers taking the hill
one plants the flag while the other is killed
when the wine pours we raise our cups
young love is sacrifice, young love is tough
young love is innocent, young love is us

what did i get into, now everything is untrue
your eyes tell the lies of the lines that you said
now that i love you, i wish we'd never met
why wait? woman, i'm taking risks here that no one dared
and you're scared - scared of the bottom, afraid of the stairs

for the young lovers taking the hill
one plants the flag while the other is killed
when the wine pours we raise our cups
young love is sacrifice, young love is tough
young love is innocent, young love is us

someone, i saw someone and fell in love with a face
and it scares me to let it go
still want her even though i get less than she takes
-young love

whoa.
