me n you

Replay your calls on my walk back home
Just to feel alone
And I'm feeling angry or I'm feeling nothing
But the messages are getting old
These months feel like they passed like days
I know you don't feel that way
Cause I tried to bury all the things I've broken
But your tears have washed the dirt away
Now I'm breaking what's left of the silence in person
Hoping you've no expectations

Getting out of the city is easy
Coming back to the suburbs is different
Waiting for you to stop responding
And pretending I won't ever miss it
Wait a little longer and I'll decide I want to stay
If only just to minimize the empty space
Absence isn't fonder 'til you miss me in the first place
Things change because we do
Not cause I want them to
But I think you know it was never gonna be me n you

Wishing away all this wasted time
These are the best years of my life
And you'll be my future or you'll be my memory
But I won't agree to compromise
So I'm wasting what's left of your patience for nothing
As soon as I came, I'll be leaving

Getting out of the city is easy
Coming back to the suburbs is different
Watching you forget me fondly
And pretending I won't ever miss it
Wait a little longer and I'll decide I want to stay
If only just to live inside the empty space
Absence isn't fonder 'til you miss me in the first place
Things change because we do
Sometimes just to spite us two
But I think you know it was never gonna be me n you

Waking up and thinking of
The lost cause I just dreamed about
Mourning you is all I do
And I don't want to stop
Cause if I let myself forget
The person I am when you're around
I'm unprepared
I'm too damn scared
For the drop

Coming back to the same is easy
Making peace with the changes is harder
Aching for you to miss me dearly
Knowing next time I'll go even farther
Wait a little longer and I know I'll want to stay
So turn around and send me on my way
Cause wasn't I the one who missed you in the first place
