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
