 ( )x2
I  woke up in bed last night  when something  came upon me
I  was not lying by myself, but I’ve  never felt  so lonely
Something’s  come between us,  girl feels  like we’ve hit a wall
How  can I know just how you feel  when we don’t touch at all
This  no communication  thing is quickly  growing old
This  isolation booth I’m  in is dark and  turning cold
I  used to steal your breath  away with just  one little kiss
Me  and you, we were so  in love back then but  that’s not how it is
 But I’d catch  moonlight in a bottle  if we could drink a toast to happiness
 Fill my pickup  bed with roses and back  it right up  to your door
I’d  write your name in candy  kisses from here to Carolina
If  you change your mind  and love me like before but that’s not how it is
 ( )  x2
I  have tossed and turned and  rolled it  over in my mind
Not  knowing all the questions  make the answers  hard to find
I  think I’ve covered everything but still  there’s something  that I’ve missed
I  used to read you baby  like a book but that’s  not how it is
But  I’d catch moonlight in a bottle  if we could drink a toast to happiness
 Fill my pickup  bed with roses and  back it right  up to your door
I’d  write your name in candy  kisses from here to Carolina
If  you change your mind  and love me like before but that’s not how it is
 ( )
No,  I’d write your name in candy  kisses from here to Carolina
If  you change your mind and  love me like before but that’s not how it is
 ( )  play to the end
 Ad Lib:
 That’s not how it is
 Ooh no, that’s not how it is
Said  I woke up in bed last night when somethin’ came upon me
 And I’ve never been so lonely
 That’s not how it is, hmmm
