Lyrics
All you did was text, "Hi." You've
Changed your number
And it's been quite a time
And yet I was so sure it was from you
We've been over here before
And yet never gets it quite right each time
It's been a thousand trial-and-errors
And all we got was a million whys
Yet we come back to the same circle
Each time around
Our dance has always been the same
We resurrect and drag our submerged bodies
Out of the blood water we made of our own
From the bloodshed that's come years before
And we breathe and breathe
As if this time our prayers win
And we'd last long enough to live
That this time, God forgives our sins
Our treacherous messages
And treasonous pledges
Trying to take back the future
That slipped from our misadventures
But nothing will ever heal
My time travels to the past
Your constant reminder to how it was
Exhaustion visible from both our ends
And your resistance to cut some fence
Do you think all this could've gone
If I just agreed that night and ran?
Back to when one strange midnight
You asked if I could ever leave this fallen town
And live with you in a purchased land
Where no one has known you
If I could leave everything behind
And live by your side
If I could leave my mother
And live a life that's fonder
You said, "We'll be two princes at the beach
Living lives just as we wish
Our house will be our castle
And the shore is where we rule." But I was
Ambitious and young chasing for a crown
In this dim-lit town
Thought I couldn't leave here unsung
And so, to that one dream, I clung
I grew roots overnight and one
All of the sudden, I couldn't run
You told me you'd understand
But nothing stayed the same since that night
And so, on midnights like this
I wander to the bittersweet past
To that night and the aftermath
If I only said 'yes' and packed my bags
I picture you standing in the sand
I run to you and your open arms
We weep at the sight of the promised land
I see a house built by love
You and our son
Running towards the shore
I see birthdays and graduations
And everything I missed and left to waste
You are my greatest what-if
I see what would have been my forever after
Turn into regrets I will forever suffer
