[00:00.12]Lyrics by：Nicole Zefanya
[00:00.30]Composed by：Nicole Zefanya
[00:00.47]You hid me in your dorm room
[00:03.12]It was Halloweekend I just flew
[00:07.07]Across the globe 22 hours just to see you
[00:13.19]Just to barely fit on your twin-sized bed
[00:17.34]And talk about your cool new friend
[00:20.66]Who I never met
[00:22.37]Who you dated as soon as I left
[00:27.96]Carolina autumn
[00:30.93]It had been a year since I saw you since we
[00:34.90]Ended it had a year to grow into the girl you always wanted
[00:40.68]Now we're holding hands as not quite friends but not quite lovers
[00:46.55]Well we'll just pretend
[00:47.83]You say it's complicated to make amends
[00:51.61]Well is that the way that we're headed then
[00:55.83]And you couldn't answer me
[00:58.14]Though you could pull me in while I brushed my teeth
[01:01.96]And let your hands both freely speak like I wasn't ever gonna leave
[01:12.51]You were all I'd ever known
[01:18.05]And now I'm supposed to love you from a distance
[01:22.09]Like it's nothing like its instant
[01:25.61]And youuuu say let's just see where this goes
[01:31.52]And I don't know how or why you seem just fine
[01:35.88]Coz I'm having to grasp that you're somehow not mine anymore
[01:41.38]It's so cruel how things are only almost like they were before
[01:47.84]Ah ah ah Like they were before
[01:50.59]Ah ah ah Like they were before
[01:53.93]Ah ah ah Like they were before
[02:00.19]We walk downtown and it's charming
[02:03.53]You're alarmingly disarming
[02:06.28]Yeah we've got 48 hours left
[02:10.42]Before I fly back to my death
[02:13.74]While you stay just fine and feel alive
[02:17.43]South of the Mason-Dixon line
[02:20.68]Where everyone closes shop at 9
[02:24.22]Where you could somehow finally find
[02:27.90]What you were desperately looking for
[02:31.10]Funny how you thought that was gonna be New York
[02:34.19]With our chalkboard walls and slanted floors
[02:37.98]Oh we could've had that and so much more
[02:41.33]Ask your new lover what it's like to be given
[02:44.54]A real fighting chance before you wish her good riddance
[02:47.87]Did anything ever really count
[02:51.44]Or was I just a two-year practice round
[02:57.01]Youuuu were all I'd ever known
[03:02.32]And now I'm feeling stupid you're forbidden
[03:06.62]They say yeah we were something
[03:08.68]Too bad we were children
[03:10.79]Ooooh I don't know where to go
[03:16.18]And I don't know how or why you seem just fine
[03:20.42]Coz I'm looking at you & God knows you're not mine anymore
[03:26.02]It's so cruel how things will never be the way they were before
[03:32.96]Like they were before
[03:36.81]It's almost just like how it was before
[03:43.05]But it's not anymore
