Worth the Flight

It's been a long year of trying to please you
I'm coming down
But I know I shouldn't need you
Arguing with the cells in my stream
Saying he's gone
Halt the dopamine

Cause it was one look and you weren't just a stranger
I should've run
But I didn't know the danger
But if I'd known, maybe I'd take the chance
Dye my hair, change my number and move to France

And how could you not see the plot I'd so carefully
Laid out in my head and made space in my bed
When I should've chosen myself instead
And how could you not try after we'd waited our whole lives
For the chance to be us
Fated lovers at dusk
But as the sun sets, it hasn't happened yet

It was a short wait let the summer heat fade
Let the healing seep into my veins
And by the time Autumn comes maybe we will be okay
But it was false hope waiting for a green light
For you to call and say you'd booked a flight
To bridge the distance
That's been between us
Cause I can't count the miles

And how could you not try after we'd waited our whole lives
For the chance to be us
Fated lovers at dusk
But as the sun sets, it hasn't happened yet

And France might be nice for a couple of months
Just 'til I learn to forget you
I've gotta leave the energy of you not choosing me
Saying she was easy
I've gotta take back the pen and make amends
With the ways I've betrayed my past self
And tell her she was worth the flight
Crying myself to sleep that night
Cause I am worth the flight

Cause how could you not know that it was
High time to go, cause some chances don't last forever
And how could you not fight for what always felt so right
Cause now we'll never be together

So I'm hopping on a plane
Yeah I'm leaving tonight
It's time to take back the pen
Because I booked the damn flight
Yeah dusk by the Seine
I felt my heart heal and that's when
I knew I'd learned the worst way
To never let someone have a say in your fate
So as the sun sets, the best days of my life haven't happened yet
