I wish I could buy back time
Wrap it and tie it up and hold it close
Be the girl before I knew what the space between the years
Can do to you.

I beg and I beg
But you can only give what you get
I try and I try
But you can only love what you want
Leave me while you can
It's the safest bet

you never land
and then
you decide to land
here.

in the
middle
of

my warm
fingers.
now you
refuse to leave.

You'll never get her back the way
You do what you do
She's never coming home
She can see right through
You're coming empty handed
When she's carrying gold
Now you're crying to yourself
I should have done
As I was told

Type your name into a little box to pretend I still know you
Scroll through years to look at photos of us, of you, of something happy
What are you doing now?
I heard you drink too much
With the same girl from the museum
You look different, rounder on the edges
I try to put these clues from friends together
No one ever says how you really are
So I pretend I still know you

i think i knew it all along
before i even met you
that i'd fall in love
i could feel it in my bones

maybe that's why i stayed
away for so long
my heart telling me
you're no good

but i never listen to her
that silly little thing

babe, I was born nostalgic
