[00:01.09]You hid me in your dorm room
[00:03.78]It was Halloweekend I just flew
[00:07.57]across the globe 22 hours just to see you
[00:13.71]Just to barely fit on your twin-sized bed
[00:18.10]and talk about your cool new friend
[00:21.24]who I never met
[00:22.94]who you dated as soon as I left
[00:28.75]Appalachian autumn
[00:31.19]It had been a year since I saw you since we
[00:35.38]Ended it had a year to grow into the girl you always wanted
[00:40.74]now we re holding hands as not quite friends but not quite lovers
[00:46.58]but we ll just pretend
[00:48.47]You say it s complicated to make amends
[00:51.92]Well is that the way that we re headed then
[00:56.31]And you couldn t answer me
[00:58.67]Though you could pull me in while I brushed my teeth
[01:02.41]and let your hands both freely speak like I wasn t ever gonna leave
[01:13.04]You were all I d ever known
[01:18.38]And now I m supposed to love you
[01:20.82]from a distance like it s nothing like its instant
[01:26.31]and youuuu say let s just see where this goes
[01:31.95]And I don t know how or why you seem just fine
[01:36.46]coz I m having to grasp that you re somehow not mine anymore
[01:41.91]It s so cruel how things are only almost like they were before
[01:47.85](ah ah ah) Like they were before
[01:50.94](ah ah ah) Like they were before
[01:54.14](ah ah ah) Like they were before
[02:01.02]We walk downtown and it s charming
[02:04.06]You re alarmingly disarming
[02:06.64]Yeah we ve got 48 hours left
[02:10.79]before I fly back to my death
[02:14.33]while you stay just fine and feel alive
[02:17.82]South of the Mason-Dixon line
[02:21.11]where everyone closes shop at 9
[02:24.65]where you could somehow finally find
[02:28.63]what you were desperately looking for
[02:31.22]Funny how you thought that was gonna be New York
[02:34.76]with our chalkboard walls and slanted floors
[02:38.41]Oh we could ve had that and so much more
[02:41.90]Ask your new lover what it s like to be given
[02:45.14]a real fighting chance before you bid her good riddance
[02:48.38]Did anything ever really count
[02:51.91]or was I just a two-year practice round
[02:57.60]Youuuu were all I d ever known
[03:02.94]And now I m feeling stupid you re forbidden
[03:07.10]They say yeah we were something
[03:09.09]too bad we were children
[03:11.14]Ooooh I don t know where to go
[03:16.62]and I don t know how or why you seem just fine
[03:20.71]coz I m looking at you & God knows you re not mine anymore
[03:26.55]It s so cruel how things will never be the way they were before
[03:33.63]Like they were before
[03:37.03]It s almost just like how it was before
[03:44.01]But it s not anymore
