As We Were

Sunday, past noon
Waking up alone in your room
What did we fight over this time?
Wonder if you'll pretend we're fine

I'm hoping maybe one day
We'll find the words to say
Without leaving blanks before we turn to go
You'll hug me tight
Tell me that it's alright
And in a few blinks before we know

We're as we were
What we've always wanted to be
The him and her
You're finally right back next to me
You do that "everything is okay" grin
Then pull me close, thumb on my chin
And for that second you're all I know
But the lights come on
The lights come on
The lights come on
And you've let us go

Laying, hands hold
They are warm but something feels cold
When did we end up getting here?
You're so far away when you're near

I'm hoping maybe one day
We'll move on from okay
Forget all our mistakes
Let the past be in the past
You'll kiss my hand
Tell me it's not so bad
And before we know we've reached at last

We're as we were
What we've always wanted to be
The him and her
You're finally right back next to me
You do that "everything is okay" grin
Then pull me close, thumb on my chin
And for that second you're all I know
But the lights come on
The lights come on
The lights come on
And you've let us go

And out of nowhere but suddenly
We become another sad story
We gave it our best I know
But some things are best when you let them go

We're as we were
What we wanted but could never be
The "him and her"
You're finally right back next to me
You do that ear to ear "I love you" smile
I feel it too, it's been a while
But in that second we both know
That the lights will come on
The lights will come on
The lights come on
And you'll let us go
