lyrics

[c]
your eyes force me to hyperbolize
this space that lies
between your hands and mine

my hair's a mess but it's your favorite
thing about me, except the way i make you laugh
i always stress that i'm not worth it
even in your sleep, i know it makes you sad
you think my favorite color's blue
but you wore purple the day i fell in love with you

don't go getting any ideas about us, oh no
don't go, don't go cause

[c]
i don't mind knowing that we're losing time
but please stay
long enough to say goodbye

i braced for heavy days and nights without a common voice
thoughts of you, your arms around another boy
lost in all the silence that we couldn't fill
and every harmless lie we never thought to tell

we fell in love the way we felt the seasons change:
a different air at first, the end so far away
we breathed each other in until it felt okay
the summer in your bones, the winter in my veins

i prayed for better days and god i know they're on their way
"i love you so" and all the words i meant to say
i sat alone and thought of what you said to me
"the love we want is not always the love we need"
