  • You hid me in your dorm room
  • It was Halloweekend, I just flew
  • across the globe, 22 hours just to see you
  • Just to barely fit on your twin-sized bed
  • and talk about your cool new friend
  • who I never met
  • who you dated as soon as I left

  • Carolina autumn
  • It had been a year since I saw you, since we
  • Ended it, had a year to grow into the girl you always wanted
  • now we’re holding hands, as not quite friends, but not quite lovers,
  • Well we’ll just pretend
  • You say “it’s complicated to make amends”
  • Well is that the way that we’re headed then?

  • And you couldn’t answer me
  • Though you could pull me in while I brushed my teeth and let your hands both freely speak like I wasn’t ever gonna leave

  • You were all I’d ever known
  • And now I’m supposed to love you from a distance, like it’s nothing like its instant
  • and youuuu say “let’s just see where this goes”
  • And I don’t know how or why you seem just fine coz I’m having to grasp that you’re somehow not mine anymore
  • It’s so cruel how things are only almost like they were before

  • (ah ah ah) Like they were before
  • (ah ah ah) Like they were before
  • (ah ah ah) Like they were before

  • We walk downtown and it’s charming
  • You’re alarmingly disarming
  • Yeah we’ve got 48 hours left
  • before I fly back to my death
  • while you stay just fine and feel alive
  • South of the Mason-Dixon line
  • where everyone closes shop at 9,
  • where you could somehow finally find

  • what you were desperately looking for
  • Funny how you thought that was gonna be New York
  • with our chalkboard walls and slanted floors
  • Oh, we could’ve had that and so much more

  • Ask your new lover what it’s like to be given
  • A real fighting chance before you wish her good riddance
  • Did anything ever really count
  • or was I just a two-year practice round

  • Youuuu were all I’d ever known
  • And now I’m feeling stupid, you’re forbidden
  • They say yeah we were something,
  • too bad we were children
  • Ooooh I don’t know where to go
  • and I don’t know how or why you seem just fine
  • coz I’m looking at you & God knows you’re not mine anymore
  • It’s so cruel how things will never be the way they were before

  • Like they were before
  • It’s almost just like how it was before
  • But it’s not anymore
