Chase, I Hardly Know Ya

I screamed at my skin, "Please stay younger"
Where did the years go when I was feeling stronger?

Right out the window when I was driving your car
In the rear view I saw my heart
It spun and landed in the front yard
Of a place I knew before

Before I knew it, distance crossed my mind
Divides my spirits half for faith and half for better times
So how long is four years? It's an eternity I suppose
Infinity beckons me to a simple place to hide

Lay down and cover your eyes so bright from awful morning light
I'm so scared of death, not fond of life
And facing my fears doesn't feel right so, I'll carry on tonight
Lay down and draw the blinds, the past is always on my mind

So call me at midnight, or call me anytime
I'm patiently waiting, the past is on my mind
I memorized the nuances of conversation held that night
I memorized every detail of your skin, we were spread so thin

Could've seen you in the basement, could've seen you in the hall
But it doesn't even matter, 'cause it was nothing at all
Could've seen you in the basement, could've seen you in the hall
But it doesn't even matter, 'cause it was nothing at all

I've been thinking what you said is true
Our lives are reds and greens and shades of blue
Our colored pasts reveal what is true
Nothing that I said to you paints a pretty portrait of us two
We're different shades of blue
