Ladida

I moved to a new town when summer was over
In a city-state where the days are colder
Sitting in my room I see pictures of us
They speak to me in colors they say I think too much

I mean they're not wrong, I'm wasting my time
Making up stories about you in my mind
Ever since I started sleeping alone again
Forgot the shape of the freckles on your face

But since wishful thinking only brings you down
I have been turning you and me into songs
Whispers of the past slipping under my tongue
Ladidadada, ladadidada

I guess I'm doing the best that I can
Curing the pain that's been hurting my chest
Ever since the day I packed up and left
Ladidadada, laladidada

Ashes to ashes and day to day I go
No, I don't think of you much when I get stoned
I told myself all the words that you couldn't say
Going on to win the game just by playing both ways

There's nothing left for me to romanticize
Unless we're talking about your cherry-picked lies
Oh, the innocence of sweet sixteen
The thrill of hearing things that you might even mean

But since wishful thinking only brings you down
I have been turning you and me into songs
Whispers of the past slipping under my tongue
Ladidadada, laladidada

I guess I'm doing the best that I can
Curing the pain that's been hurting my chest
Ever since the day I packed up and left
Ladidadada, laladidada

But since wishful thinking only brings you down
I have been turning you and me into songs
Whispers of the past slipping under my tongue
Ladidadada, laladidada

I guess I'm doing the best that I can
Curing the pain that's been hurting my chest
Ever since the day I packed up and left
Ladidadada, laladidada
