Willows Lyrics

The first time I saw you dance

Under willows

I thought you were a ghost

Or just a vision

Of something

I've been missing the most

I remember it all in vivid color

But we're worlds away from midnight, that summer

I gotta set fire to that image of you

The one inside my head, the one inside my room

Cause I ain't been gettin' no sleep at all

You weren't who I thought you were and that's okay

It's a painful learning curve, it's my mistake

I just wish that all the willows would fade

I just wish that all the colors would stay

The dogwood don't blossom in the shade

Heart flutters never came so fast

Muddy hands, jeans stained from the grass

I thought photos would always last

But time to rip these polaroids in half

Cause all the film is overexposed

From being left out in the cold

And you're the only one who really knows

But I gotta start letting go, because

I gotta set fire to that image of you

The one inside my head, the one inside my room

Cause I ain't been gettin' no sleep at all

You weren't who I thought you were and that's okay

It's a painful learning curve, it's my mistake

I just wish that all the willows would fade

I just wish that all the colors would stay

The dogwood don't blossom in the shade
