Sweetheart

I still love the boy I met at fourteen
Pimple-faced, teenage daydream
And carnival nights and rollercoasters
And I can't believe it's almost over

And I'd burn CDs for your car
So you could keep me close when you drove far
Like I always knew that you would do
Pack up your bags and tie on your shoes and

I am missing a part of me when you're away
What do I have to do to convince you that it would be worth it to finally stay
I stay in one place and learn all the street lights and empty roads
You can call me your home
And I will be here waiting

Remember the time you got me home so late
My father was so irate
But I slept that night and I felt fine
Cause I was yours and you were mine and

You knew me before I knew how to do my hair
You didn't care
Cause you liked how I spoke up in class
But the bell means it can never really last and

I am missing a part of me when you're away
What do I have to do to convince you that it would be worth it to finally stay
I stay in one place and learn all the street lights and empty roads
You can call me your home
And I will be here waiting

Maybe I'm a fool to think it could last
Maybe I'm just stuck in the past
Maybe I'm hung up on my sentimental feelings

But maybe you're just too scared to try
But too scared to say goodbye
So don't call me crazy for wanting something
I know is real

Missing a part of me, missing a part of me, missing a part of me

I am missing a part of me when you're away
What do I have to do to convince you that it would be worth it to finally stay
I stay in one place and learn all the street lights and empty roads
You can call me your home
And I will be here waiting
