lyrics

You've a right to be everything
to someone other than myself

I cannot hold you if you go
but let me know
if you'd like to stay what you are 'cause it feels like home

And since I was a young boy I
thought you without me
was more like a decent writer without tragedy

And all I wanted was for you to gussy up and look me in the eye
And tell me that another version of you'd be this hard to find
Oh, how we've searched so long and still have yet to see the stars align
To be left among all those we chose to leave behind

I will find something new again
to suture Autumn to for life
I can't dismiss
or condone
what we are
but it's on the line for the last time

And all I wanted was for you to gussy up and look me in the eye
And tell me that another version of you'd be this hard to find
Oh, how we've searched so long and still have yet to see the stars align
To be left among all those we chose to leave behind

I won't be an idle one

I won't wait for the suits to come

Why should I have a forward mind
When I'm still having all these dreams about high school?
