periphery

I told you everything was copacetic
I made sure you believed me when I said it
That was the last time that we kissed before it ended
And it's still on my lips, it's still on my lips

When I left I drove off in a hurry
Texted said I'm fine, no need to worry
You said the last thing that you wanna do is hurt me
But it's still on the list, it's still on the list

When they say that change is good
What they really mean is, "Sorry that it happened"
Well, I'm not sorry that it happened
I don't want the memory to leave
Details start fading til I can't see

I love harder than I should
If I focus I am closer to the magic
Hope you're not sorry that it happened
I don't want the colors to bleed
Til I only see you in my periphery...

Oh, isn't it almost funny,
When you get exactly what you
Said you wanted?
I still see your face at the McCarren Airport
Or Sundays in summer
My place, didn't tell me you were coming
Singing, "we made it, we made it"
We're fading

Move my feelings to a different city
Keep you in my dreams so you never leave me
I make room in my new life for somebody new
But nobody compares to you
It's clearer my rearview

When they say that change is good
What they really mean is, "Sorry that it happened"
Well, I'm not sorry that it happened
I don't want the memory to leave
Details start fading til I can't see

I love harder than I should
If I focus I am closer to the magic
Hope you're not sorry that it happened
I don't want the colors to bleed
Til I only see you in my periphery...

(We're fading out, can't shake it now)

I told you everything was copacetic
I made sure you believed me when I said it
That was the last time that we kissed before it ended
And it's still on my lips
