people we couldn't be (feat. EMA)
Now don't reminisce
It's not worth the energy
But do we even have a choice
To see what we couldn't see
I needed someone to miss
Something to look forward to
A quiet in the noise
Thinking it was you
I swore that it was you
I'm not the one you know
That person moved away when we were younger
When silence pulled us under, don't you see
I cared more than I'd show
But when months and years just turn into a number
Sometimes I have to wonder if it's really me
So what's the bare minimum
Crack a smile and say hello
Or tear out every thorn
We swore that we'd outgrow
I tried too hard to be perfect
A concept in the way
Of anything worth saving
So now what would you say
About me
Not that it matters
That wasn't me
And that wasn't you
I'm not the one you know
That person moved away when we were younger
When silence pulled us under, don't you see
I cared more than I'd show
But when months and years just turn into a number
Sometimes I have to wonder if it's really me
Maybe I'll be down by front street
(Saw you reminiscing)
Like every other time
(Did you think about us)
And I'd stop for a second
(Nostalgic scents and spaces)
'Cause I can't help but smile
We disappeared again
But that's okay with me
I'm just glad that I meant something
(I'm glad that we meant something)
To the person you couldn't be
(To the people we couldn't be)
It's not worth the energy
But do we even have a choice
To see what we couldn't see
I needed someone to miss
Something to look forward to
A quiet in the noise
Thinking it was you
I swore that it was you
I'm not the one you know
That person moved away when we were younger
When silence pulled us under, don't you see
I cared more than I'd show
But when months and years just turn into a number
Sometimes I have to wonder if it's really me
So what's the bare minimum
Crack a smile and say hello
Or tear out every thorn
We swore that we'd outgrow
I tried too hard to be perfect
A concept in the way
Of anything worth saving
So now what would you say
About me
Not that it matters
That wasn't me
And that wasn't you
I'm not the one you know
That person moved away when we were younger
When silence pulled us under, don't you see
I cared more than I'd show
But when months and years just turn into a number
Sometimes I have to wonder if it's really me
Maybe I'll be down by front street
(Saw you reminiscing)
Like every other time
(Did you think about us)
And I'd stop for a second
(Nostalgic scents and spaces)
'Cause I can't help but smile
We disappeared again
But that's okay with me
I'm just glad that I meant something
(I'm glad that we meant something)
To the person you couldn't be
(To the people we couldn't be)
