Florence

You're the only person who doesn't prefer coffee over tea
You're the only person who hates this town as much as me
And I can't get out of this shitty town
But I know you would leave with me in an instance
And there's more to life, intervention divine
Now my head's pounding from all of this terrible static

Impeccable timing
Stellar designing
They applaud your "performance"
And yell "that's my Florence"
And they act like your lifelong friends

But I've known you since freshmen year chorus
And since then I've applauded every performance

So for once, maybe, you look away from them and instead back at me
Cause by now, you have to be tired to playing absentee

I'll never forget when we became friends
You told me I saw you through a lens
And it made you feel seen and less sqeaky clean
And that always, always stuck with me

Or how you said to think of Italy
When I first met you initially
And that made me laugh
Cause you were too special to forget
Even before I knew you like that

So here we are
Look how far

So here you are signing
With labels who are dying
To applaud your "performance"
And brag "thats our florence"
And they act like you're lifelong friends

But remember I've known you since freshmen year chorus
And since then I've applauded every performance

So for once, maybe, you look away from them and remember me
Cause by now, our past is getting kinda hazy
