Deadline

How did it take eight months
To say how we felt after one?
Oh, what a joke, what perfect timing

You're moving away next week
But I still wear your shirt when I sleep
I kinda hope you leave it behind and come find it
It's always college, a job ends, or an ex is back from vacation
Tell me why all my first dates have expirations

I let it happen again, and my heart is racing ahead
And I'm full speed at a red light
There's something wrong with my head
Cause I'm only making my bed if your heart has a "for end" sign

And I knew that it was ever the second that we tried
So why did I?
You're leaving soon, but I wish that I didn't have to love you on a deadline

I'm hanging out with your friends
So you'll think of me when you're with them
I'm pretty sure you know what I'm doing
And I don't love you, I just think I could
Why does everything fall through when it gets good?

I let it happen again, and my heart is racing ahead
And I'm full speed at a red light
And there's something wrong with my head
Cause I'm only making my bed if your heart has a "for end" sign

And I knew that it was over the second that we tried
So why did I?
You're leaving soon, but I wish I didn't have to love you on a deadline

I, I don't wanna love you on a deadline
I, I don't wanna love you on a last day, on a last night
Doing everything for the last time
When you asked me if I'll miss you
I don't wanna love you, I don't wanna love you

When you're packing, and I'm anxious
And I'm acting like I'm not a train wreck
Or at the airport when I tell you
I don't wanna love you, I don't wanna love you
But I —

I let it happen again, and my heart is racing ahead
And I'm full speed ahead at a red light
There's something wrong with my head
Cause I'm only making my bed if your heart has a "for end" sign

And I knew that it was over the second that we tried
So why did I?
You'll be leaving soon, but I wish I
Didn't have to love you on a deadline
