lyrics

Verse 1:

There’s a depth to this
I know it when I’m beside you
It’s been a while since it’s hit me in the stomach like this
I can feel it in the lost sentences

And I know, I know, I know that I’m not yours
But I think I’ll linger a little bit more
To know if you’re sure
And I know, I know, I know it’s a bad idea
But I don’t feel I have another option
Look at all it’s already cost me

Chorus 1:

Sleep and dreams and time spent in the summer
Other people who could’ve given me love
But I guess it’s not my choice
Has it ever been?
Do we ever get a say in any of this?
In any of this
In any of…

Verse 2:

We have a way with words
With choosing the ones that don’t give up our feelings
And we lack honesty
Don’t know what we need
Don’t know what we want from each other
And it’s killing me to wonder

Chorus 2:

Now sleep and dreams are falling away
And I’m running out of excuses
Of strategies in this game
But I know it’s not my choice
Has it ever been?
Will I ever get a say in any of this?
In any of this
In any of…
Oh
Bridge:

Cause all you are is little moments
All you are is something I can’t touch
All you are is keeping secrets
Asking my friends if I’m making it up
Maybe you want to spare me the details
Maybe we’re better off at arm’s length
And all you are is
All you are is
Maybe all you are is a mistake

Outro:

Cause I’m losing sleep and dreams
And the summer’s over
Still thinking of you and getting no closure
But I know it’s not my choice
Oh, it’ll never be
Will I ever get a piece of what I need?
Of what I need
Of what I need
Of what I need
Of what I need
Of what I need
