Daylight was closing in and we were walking down the block it was the evening it all began

We turned right and then we started talking like we've known each other since we were like 10

And with a grin you turned to me as if to say, "I've always known you; you've always been my friend"

New house, old garden. Empty apartment, fresh start and

a heavy feeling that I'm bout to leave before we started

But we walked the feeling off, stumbled on someone's lawn

They moved on but left behind, flowers that could bloom or die

To remind us you don't always have to grow where you're planted

Goodbyes don't always have to be how we planned it

Cuz our bond doesn't recognize state lines
