lyrics

it's hard to see you slip between streetlights
like you're afraid that i might see you twice
why am afraid to cut ties for a better life?
leave you behind with my doubts weighing me down
sitting in the car with the heater on
cherry-picking lines from our favorite songs
thinking about the time that i knew i was losing you
i guess it's true
you never sort it out at 22

your mementos
seem so incidental
what's a token without a prize?
the last look in your eyes
the faded goodbye
so why would i rewind just to waste my time?

why would i rewind just to waste my time?

sober thoughts crowd drunken brains
i wash my hands in summer rain
am i too proud to act my age?
i throw myself against the waves
scrolling back through sloppy texts
i smoke your pack of parliaments
it makes it hard to tell the truth
while i still hide behind my youth
i want to see your breath fog up the screen
i want to eat raclette on hudson street
and now i find myself caught way upstream
in a landlocked state
with a sunken dream

your mementos
seem so incidental
what's a token without a prize?
the last look in your eyes
the faded goodbye
so why would i rewind just to waste my time?

why would i rewind just to waste my time?
