lyrics

Your gloves are up but I don’t want to fight you.
You’re badly filtered and I don’t want to light you.
And you’re so good at muddling specifics,
cutting to the quick and burning up your bridges.
Playing victim to anyone who listens.
It’s like you forgot that I’m still here.

And if I’m just a long-term mistake,
I’m the best one you’ll ever make.

All I need is transparency,
a way to peak through the layers that you have,
finally bury this in the past
where it belongs.
Back then we were kings of the summer
but every season ends.
I wouldn’t take it back / I wouldn’t take you back.

People change, it doesn’t matter who.
Anyone you know could be a stranger
next year, next month, next week, tomorrow.
So I’ll go out and find new names and faces
to cover up the lonely places
where the people I love used to fill,
when I was prescribed moments instead of pills.
And all I know is that they don’t make sunsets like that anymore.
And 4am coffee tastes much more bitter when you’re drinking it alone.

And if I’m just a long term mistake,
I’m the best one that you’ll ever make.

All I need is transparency,
a way to peak through the layers that you have,
finally bury this in the past
where it belongs.
Back then we were kings of the summer
but every season ends.
I wouldn’t take it back / I wouldn’t take you back (2x)

And all I need is transparency.
