Dusty couldn't blame us   We were young and indie famous   Still not enough to save us from our fear of heights   You know they might call it a gamble   Or an Oklahoma scramble   We left the basement in a shamble on those summer nights      But still you know   But still you know I can't allow myself to fall for you   But still you know   But still you know I can't allow myself to fall for you      I might say you were smitten   By the envy I'd been bitten   You wrote some songs I wish I'd written   But I'd wait awhile   Sometimes I wish we'd taken chances   With the flames or at the dances   Across the room we traded glances   And I'd see you smile       But still you know   But still you know I can't allow myself to fall for you   But still you know   But still you know I can't allow myself to fall for you      Don't ever say I didn't choose you   Still it stung a bit to lose you   Despite the distance and the whose who    We'd stay friends for sure   Bet it demons that would damn us   For the Dunes and Tropicanas   You sure looked cute in those pajamas and a bit demure      But still you know   But still you know I can't allow myself to fall for you   But still you know   But still you know I can't allow myself to fall for you
