Before
You hid me in your dorm room
- You hid me in your dorm room
- It was Halloweekend I just flew
- Across the globe 22 hours just to see you
- Just to barely fit on your twin-sized bed
- And talk about your cool new friend
- Who I never met
- Who you dated as soon as I left
- Appalachian autumn
- It had been a year since I saw you since we
- Ended it had a year to grow into the girl you always wanted
- Now we're holding hands as not quite friends but not quite lovers
- But we'll just pretend
- You say it's complicated to make amends
- Well is that the way that we're headed then
- And you couldn't answer me
- Though you could pull me in while I brushed my teeth
- And let your hands both freely speak like I wasn't ever gonna leave
- You were all I'd ever known
- And now I'm supposed to love you from a distance
- Like it's nothing like its instant
- And youuuu say let's just see where this goes
- And I don't know how or why you seem just fine
- Coz I'm having to grasp that you're somehow not mine anymore
- It's so cruel how things are only almost like they were before
- Ah ah ah Like they were before
- Ah ah ah Like they were before
- Ah ah ah Like they were before
- We walk downtown and it's charming
- You're alarmingly disarming
- Yeah we've got 48 hours left
- Before I fly back to my death
- While you stay just fine and feel alive
- South of the Mason-Dixon line
- Where everyone closes shop at 9
- Where you could somehow finally find
- What you were desperately looking for
- Funny how you thought that was gonna be New York
- With our chalkboard walls and slanted floors
- Oh we could've had that and so much more
- Ask your new lover what it's like to be given
- A real fighting chance before you bid her good riddance
- Did anything ever really count
- Or was I just a two-year practice round
- Youuuu were all I'd ever known
- And now I'm feeling stupid you're forbidden
- They say yeah we were something
- Too bad we were children
- Ooooh I don't know where to go
- And I don't know how or why you seem just fine
- Coz I'm looking at you & God knows you're not mine anymore
- It's so cruel how things will never be the way they were before
- Like they were before
- It's almost just like how it was before
- But it's not anymore
