Title: Try Stopping Me


They sat me down at the corner table
Said "boy you're gonna get yourself hurt
She's out of your league, she's not in your future
You're setting yourself up for the dirt
Jake said "I've seen this movie before
It ends with you staring at your phone
Marcus nodded and poured me another
Said "leave this one alone

But they don't see what I see
When she smiles and the whole room slows
They don't know how she talks to me
Like I'm the only one who knows

So try stopping me
Tell me I'm crazy, tell me I'm blind
Try stopping me
I've already made up my mind
Every wall you build, I'm walking through
Every doubt you throw, I'll prove untrue
You can say she's too good to be
But try stopping me

They said "she's got that kind of beauty
That doesn't look twice at a guy like you
She's chasing bigger dreams than this town
What you gonna do when she's through
They meant well, I know they meant well
But they don't hear the way she says my name
They don't see her linger a second too long
They don't feel the same

Cause they don't see what I see
When she laughs at the things I say
They don't know how she looks at me
At the end of a long day

So try stopping me
Tell me I'm crazy, tell me I'm blind
Try stopping me
I've already made up my mind
Every wall you build, I'm walking through
Every doubt you throw, I'll prove untrue
You can say she's too good to be
But try stopping me

Maybe they're right, maybe I fall
Maybe she smiles and says nothing at all
But I'd rather crash into something real
Than spend my whole life behind the wheel
Wondering what if, wondering why
Never even giving it a try

So I'm walking down to where she works
Heart beating loud as a drum in my chest
Jake's calling my phone, I let it ring off
Marcus is texting, I'm not opening it yet
The streetlights are blurring, my hands are shaking
But my feet keep moving, one step at a time
I can hear all their voices, all of their warnings
But I'm leaving them all behind

So try stopping me
Tell me I'm crazy, tell me I'm blind
Try stopping me
I've already made up my mind
Every wall you build, I'm walking through
Every doubt you throw, I'll prove untrue
You can say she's too good to be
But try stopping me

Try stopping me
Yeah, try stopping me
I'm already on my way
Try stopping me today
