[00:00.261] You hid me in your dorm room
[00:03.328] It was Halloweekend, I just flew
[00:06.805] across the globe, 22 hours just to see you
[00:13.124] Just to barely fit on your twin-sized bed
[00:17.256] and talk about your cool new friend
[00:20.628] who I never met
[00:22.304] who you dated as soon as I left
[00:26.292]
[00:27.775] Appalachian autumn
[00:30.602] It had been a year since I saw you, since we
[00:34.713] Ended it, had a year to grow into the girl you always wanted
[00:40.458] now we’re holding hands, as not quite friends, but not quite lovers,
[00:46.401] but we’ll just pretend
[00:47.796] You say “it’s complicated to make amends”
[00:51.309] Well is that the way that we’re headed then?
[00:55.318]
[00:55.783] And you couldn’t answer me
[00:58.016] Though you could pull me in while I brushed my teeth
[01:01.862] and let your hands both freely speak like I wasn’t ever gonna leave
[01:08.704]
[01:12.229] You were all I’d ever known
[01:17.798] And now I’m supposed to love you from a distance, like it’s nothing like its instant
[01:25.609] and youuuu say “let’s just see where this goes”
[01:31.515] And I don’t know how or why you seem just fine
[01:35.615] coz I’m having to grasp that you’re somehow not mine anymore
[01:41.263] It’s so cruel how things are only almost like they were before
[01:46.853]
[01:47.040] (ah ah ah) Like they were before
[01:50.653] (ah ah ah) Like they were before
[01:53.832] (ah ah ah) Like they were before
[01:59.147]
[02:00.269] We walk downtown and it’s charming
[02:03.359] You’re alarmingly disarming
[02:06.039] Yeah we’ve got 48 hours left
[02:10.309] before I fly back to my death
[02:13.578] while you stay just fine and feel alive
[02:17.314] South of the Mason-Dixon line
[02:20.662] where everyone closes shop at 9,
[02:24.196] where you could somehow finally find
[02:27.866]
[02:28.090] what you were desperately looking for
[02:30.929] Funny how you thought that was gonna be New York
[02:33.898] with our chalkboard walls and slanted floors
[02:37.769] Oh, we could’ve had that and so much more
[02:40.950]
[02:41.160] Ask your new lover what it’s like to be given
[02:44.514] a real fighting chance before you bid her good riddance
[02:47.562] Did anything ever really count
[02:51.219] or was I just a two-year practice round
[02:55.959]
[02:56.980] Youuuu were all I’d ever known
[03:02.245] And now I’m feeling stupid, you’re forbidden
[03:06.688] They say yeah we were something,
[03:08.624] too bad we were children
[03:10.356] Ooooh I don’t know where to go
[03:16.036] and I don’t know how or why you seem just fine
[03:20.403] coz I’m looking at you & God knows you’re not mine anymore
[03:25.881] It’s so cruel how things will never be the way they were before
[03:32.701]
[03:32.983] Like they were before
[03:36.267] It’s almost just like how it was before
[03:43.230] But it’s not anymore
