Secrets Die When They Hit The Air Lyrics

Secrets die when they hit the air,

There's not so much trama that we can't compare.

You from the SLC, me from the buckle of the Bible Belt Tennessee.

Your big anime eyes were the first thing I noticed.

I was completely oblivious to you sitting in a wheelchair.

I was getting N64 Blitzed, & you had started way before me,

I was trying to play catch up.

We meet randomly, at your house party.

I was a friend of your roommate's friend.

The city was a lot smaller back then.

Honestly it feels like 16 years ago. I guess it was,

Sometimes my brain is moving slow.

My 20's were just such a blur.

Yeah song #2 in my car over some old hip hop banjo beats.

That's how I thought I'd impress you, boy was I wrong.

You were a college drop out just like me.

You came from a religious university, & upbringing just begging to start your own life, & see another big city,

I'm so glad our stars crossed that night,

I didn't know what I was in for.

I gave you my number, just a hug no kiss at the door.

It wasn't until I got a text from you when I was on tour.

Selling merch, for a local band you wouldn't adore.

I finally found my person.

My reason to live. I was going through a hard time.

I'm pretty sure I jumped ahead with the I love yous after a month of dating.

My everything, that had brought me to this.

It was hard at first, we didn't have as much in common as we both thought.

I was into pretentious movies, & music from the start.

I was just trying to find myself, but I found you.

It took a few years after finding you, that I found myself too.

The city was a lot smaller back then.

Honestly it feels like 16 years ago. I guess it was,

Sometimes my brain is moving slow.

Turn the clock forward a little ways, nothing like the passing of time to make you self reflect.

To look back on your past without regrets.

Well I don't regret my crazy 25's, but you settled me down at 27 to keep me alive and I'm proud of hitting 30, & roasting marshmallows listening Biggie on the west side of town.

We both hot out of our bad jobs, after our little one.

But she's not so little anymore.

She looks at me sideways when a bad dad joke just lands on the floor.

So here's to 16 more years plus a 30 more.

As long as I'm alive I'll be counting blessings I found you that night, and for this life we both get to ask each other for more.

The city was a lot smaller back then.

Honestly it feels like 16 years ago. I guess it was,

Sometimes my brain is moving slow.
