My Best Friend's Weddings lyrics

[Verse 1]

Met you at my best friend's wedding

There was something about you

You set off fireworks that evening

With a flicker of untruth

[Pre-Chorus]

Jump twenty years, jump twenty years, twenty years, yeah

Lookin' back, in retrospect

I was never safe, I was never safe, still not safe, yeah

You'd torch me any chance you'd get

[Chorus]

I see a wildfire comin'

Burnin' the world that I've known

Watch me, watch me outrun it

Take what I need and go

[Verse 2]

Strangest thing not having you here with me

Then I realized

That I prefer my own company

To yours anytime

[Pre-Chorus]

In twenty years, in twenty years, twenty years, yeah

I'll still be younger than you

I'm better off, I'm better off, better off, yeah

Without your gloom and your doom

[Chorus]

'Cause I can see a wildfire comin'

Burnin' the world that I know

Watch me, watch me outrun it

Take what I need and go

[Post-Chorus]

Go it alone, go it alone

Go it alone, go it alone

Go it alone, go it alone

Go it alone, go it alone

Go it alone, go it alone

Go it alone, go it alone

[Bridge]

I'm back here at my best friend's wedding

Yeah, she married again

I've never seen her look more happy

Guess from ashes, we can really grow

[Chorus]

And my wildfire's comin'

Burnin' the path that I've known

Watch me, yeah, watch me run with it

Take it wherever it goes

[Post-Chorus]

And I'll go it alone, go it alone

Go it alone, go it alone (Go it alone)

Oh

Oh

[Outro]

Go it alone

Go it alone

Go it alone

Oh, oh

Oh, oh
