[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]Carolina 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]Well 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 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 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 wish 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
