Lyrics
Sit close, just not too close to touch
Converse, just don't get attached
"Is your heart beating fast now?" You
Were teasing my visible frown
What malady drove me to this insanity?
But then again, I once thought you were my remedy
And when the engine fired up and went ballistic, I
Fake-smiled at you, praying my screams won't leak
As we rose up to the sky, I remembered how it began
A simple 'hi,' a simple joke, a simple match
A quick kiss in a museum
Upholding all feelings presumed
Tangled friendships from both sides
I admired yours, you hated mine
Flashbacks of the drive to your mother
And how nervous I was to meet her
And when the seats swung down, All I saw was the collapse
The first cracks I ignored
And the blood war I weakly fought
When I saw the inevitable fall, I could only search for you
In the end of it all, I stood in the ruins of you
And it haunted me for a whole fucking year
An iron armor was born out of my caustic tears
I vowed to never meet you again
But tonight, I saw all my rules bend
Because here I was, Holding tight to your arm
Screaming at the top of my lungs
Blood rushing to my cheeks as the loud winds hit
It was that familiar rush before the slowdown
The inescapable storm before the standdown
I wondered if you knew how badly I wanted
To turn things around that very last night
It took you a whole year to reappear
In an old 7-Eleven in your city
Walked me to the very street you first met me
Past a carousel bleak and not moving
Closures sure make you breathe
But you should have seen how I lived
Through that fucking year
Oh, what a fucked-up year
Here we are, Looking in void through each other
As the ride finally stops
Maybe we both knew there wasn't a forever
For the two of us
