Ryan Adams – This Is It

Let me sing a song for
You that's never been sung before
All the words are written for you and never been said before
She kisses when she sleeps
She kisses when she's sleepin'
Let me sing a song for you, a song that's worth dreamin'

Don't waste my time
This is it
This is really happening

What's the use in marigolds, these flowers are for you
All the lights go after burn, the sky it splits in two
I kiss her on her teeth
I kiss her on her teeth, mmm.

Let me sing a song for you that alters your belief
Don't waste my time
This is it
This is really happening

Don't waste my time
This is it
This is really happening
Happening

Don't waste my time
This is it
This is really happening

Don't waste my time
This is it
This is really happening
This is really happening
This is really happening

    General Commentand i believe it is "this isn't happening" because it doesn't sound like "really" at all.

    General Commentthe newer version of this song recorded for the follow the lights ep is a little bit different in some places.. but for the most part it stays the same. anyway, when i hear the "i kiss her on her teeth" line... i picture a guy trying to kiss a girl, but she's smiling.. she he ends up "kissing her on her teeth."
