lyrics

I know we spent, oh, half our time
Figuring out what goes on in our heads
And who's to say we wasted it?
We could have moved on, we could have been strong
But we never had it out, it was easier, it got us by
And I never told you off... it's always on my mind

In holding onto anything
We spent too many years medicating our fear
Always planting doubt
Repeating those words I never wanted to hear
Haunting us both

Please don't say goodnight
You never stop shooting right through me
Don't turn on your light
I'll meet you out back where you last saw me

But I'll never pull this off
It's meaningless, it's passed me by
Let's finally call this off
And draw out our goodbyes, covered in snow

Home again! Home again!
I'm so glad you're here, my friend
You always got it right, and you always knew the way!
But they don't like the way you've been
I don't like the skin I'm in
Oh my friend, once again, excess will be the winner on this day

Sometimes the head breaks and things just don't work
I'm having trouble reconciling every time I've been a jerk
I don't want to deal with this
Just skip straight to forgiveness
Recognizing your faults helps but it's meaningless if you never try to change

I think you are lovely
