Sam Songtext
von Frankie Bird

He was only 15
Little shy with bright green eyes
Summertime 2005
Always called the nice guy
She was Homecoming Queen
Passed her notes that made her smile
For a while so he thought he′d try

She told him he was sweet
Melted his insecurities
Made him think this time
He might luck out
That night out on her street
She tore his heart right off his sleeve
When he heard the words that left her mouth
Right when she said


Oh Sam damn
Can't you understand
That you′re just not the man for me
This'll never be a love song come on
Sam damn
Can't give us a chance
Don′t think of you romantically
This′ll never be a love song
Come on Sam

On the eve of 18
Had a new girl in his sight
Spent their time walking side by side
Talking all through the night
And in the summer heat
Finally had the nerve to say something
To be more than friends this time

He planned it out for weeks
Now it was time to take the leap
Thought no matter what it's worth a try
Until she said


Oh Sam damn
Can′t you understand
That you're just not the man for me
This′ll never be a love song come on
Sam damn
Can't give us a chance
Don′t think of you romantically
This'll never be a love song
Come on Sam
Oh come on Sam
Come on Sam

Only two weeks shy of 28
A new girl came around to hang
They were getting closer everyday
But his past heartbreaks got in his way
He was falling hard but so afraid
Cuz the girls he loved never felt the same
Thought his fate was sealed and it wouldn't change
So he almost let her get away
Yeah he almost let me get away
But then I said

Sam
My heart′s in your hands
You′re the only man for me
This is better than a love song come on
Sam damn
Give love one more chance
I'll never let you down you′ll see
This is better than a love song
Come on Sam
Oh come on Sam
Come on Sam
Oh come on Sam
Oh come on Sam
Come on Sam

He was only 15
Little shy with bright green eyes
Summertime 2005
Always called the nice guy
