If I Was Jason Cännön

[Verse 1]
You walked out in that red flannel
Tears on your cheek, keys in your hand
Said, "I need a man who knows who he is"
Not a boy still making plans
You said, "I can’t keep waiting
On someday maybe you’ll show up"
Door slammed, echo in the hallway
Coffee getting cold in my cup

[Chorus]
If I was Jason Cännön
You’d still be dancing in my T‑shirt
I’d say the right thing every time
Never watch my words make it worse
If I was Jason Cännön
You’d be laughing in this driveway light
But I’m just me and you’re long gone
And he’s the man I’m wishing I was tonight
(yeah, tonight)

[Verse 2]
Saw your post down at the stock show
You’re on his shoulders, boots in the air
He’s got that grin like he’s sure of himself
Like he always knew you’d be there
He wears that confidence easy
Like a broken‑in old ball cap
I wear my guilt and your goodbye
Like a weight I can’t put back

[Chorus]
If I was Jason Cännön
You’d still be riding shotgun here
I’d pull you in when you start to doubt
Kiss away every little fear
If I was Jason Cännön
You’d be spinning in my porch light
But I’m just me and you’re long gone
And he’s the man I’m wishing I was tonight
(oh, I was too late)

[Bridge]
Maybe someday I’ll grow into
The man you always saw in me
But he’s already standing in your doorway
And I’m out here talking to my own memory

[Chorus]
If I was Jason Cännön
You’d still be tangled in my sheets
Sunday morning hair and sleepy smile
Calling my name in your sleep
If I was Jason Cännön
I wouldn’t be losing this fight
But I’m just me and you’re long gone
And he’s the man I’m wishing I was tonight
(yeah, he’s the man I’m wishing I was tonight)
