The Whole Time
Summer after freshman year you stop shaving your legs
Give up eating chicken and you pierce your cartilage
I go skinny dipping after midnight in the pond
Don't make out the details in the dark, just carry on
Seven odd years later in the city where we'll meet
You'll take off your glasses and I'll hold your face so sweet
We'll sit on the floor and laugh at all our tangled limbs
I will wonder why it took so long to just give in
And be who I was
Who I was the whole time
All I'll take from college is it's never either or
But I'll still need to feel it out firsthand before I'm sure
You will draw a map of all the moments that make sense
Lose the piece of paper but hold on to where you've been
Cause it's who you were
Who you were the whole time
When I come home to myself I've fixed the place up nice
Kept the record cabinet stocked and hung the colored lights
And all our chosen family are waiting in the wings
Not to shout "surprise" but just to pull us in and sing
That it's who I was
Who I was the whole time
And it's who you were
Who you were the whole time
And it's who we were
Who we were
Who we were the whole time
Give up eating chicken and you pierce your cartilage
I go skinny dipping after midnight in the pond
Don't make out the details in the dark, just carry on
Seven odd years later in the city where we'll meet
You'll take off your glasses and I'll hold your face so sweet
We'll sit on the floor and laugh at all our tangled limbs
I will wonder why it took so long to just give in
And be who I was
Who I was the whole time
All I'll take from college is it's never either or
But I'll still need to feel it out firsthand before I'm sure
You will draw a map of all the moments that make sense
Lose the piece of paper but hold on to where you've been
Cause it's who you were
Who you were the whole time
When I come home to myself I've fixed the place up nice
Kept the record cabinet stocked and hung the colored lights
And all our chosen family are waiting in the wings
Not to shout "surprise" but just to pull us in and sing
That it's who I was
Who I was the whole time
And it's who you were
Who you were the whole time
And it's who we were
Who we were
Who we were the whole time
