lyrics

we stayed up till 4am
singing along to songs we didn’t understand
when we were young, had never been in love
well i guess this is growing up
and when i held your hand that day
i thought that things would be okay
but now you’re sitting next to me
my head hiding between my knees

train rides and long drives, coast to coast
sleeping in bedrooms filled with ghosts
where every “i love you” reverberates
their faces fill blank space
so every new love that i find
and every one i leave behind
all fill a chamber in my heart
do you remember how it starts

and sometimes i think about that night
in new york, glowing under street lights
then i remember what happened next
i swear we tried our best
didn’t we try our best

i spent a summer surviving off the kindness of others
and it humbled me
i moved across the country to escape the feeling
you’d never let me be
we’ve grown to inhabit such messy lies
right before my eyes i saw my life
disappear and re-materialize
but it takes work
constructive positive habits and not just
borrowing against your own self-worth
so hold my hand again
we can’t escape the past but we can
put it in its place my friend
and we’ll rest assured
i know we hurt each other but we were
just doing our best or at least doing what we could



will we feel this way forever
will I regret my tattoos
will I move back to new york
will you go back and finish school
will this house become a symbol
of a time when life felt new
when we leave will it be a part of us
like i’m a part of you
i remember how it felt
saying “i love you” the first time
i remember seeing you again
years later down the line
i know you’re a different person now
you know that i’ve changed too
but you’ll always be a part of me
like ink stains turning blue
