In the First Place
I have been lost
Since you found your way back to town
I found my footing
In the calm of you not being around
You thought you had me buried in time
But I'm standing underneath you
Chipping away at the years
Until you fall through
Until you fall back to me
The forest of your hazel eyes
Leaves me without direction
I left a breadcrumb trail
Of unsent texts and squandered chances
Leading me back to the moment
When I first took you for granted
To set this place ablaze
With the look that you deserved
In the first place
The hold you got on me is sickening
You always pick me like a flower
Then you toss me like a weed
You see every plan that you think up
Through to the T
After calculating, estimating every little thing
The hold you got on me is sickening
You always pick me like a flower
Then you toss me like a weed
You see every plan that you think up
Through to the T
After calculating, estimating every little thing
You thought you had me buried in time
But I'm standing underneath you
Chipping away at the years
Until you fall through
Until you fall back to me
The forest of your hazel eyes
Leaves me without direction
I left a breadcrumb trail
Of unsent texts and squandered chances
Leading me back to the moment
When I first took you for granted
To set this place ablaze
With the look that you deserved
In the first place
This decade old
Chess match we've played
Last time I won I made the foolish mistake
Not to see you in the same way
But from the look in your eyes
I know that I've won again today
In your forest brown and green
The pawn takes the queen
And now out of all the games we've played
It's about time one finally went my way
It's something I shouldn't say
But I told you so way back in the day
You thought you had me buried in time
But you won't get rid of me that easily
The forest of your hazel eyes
Leaves me without direction
I left a breadcrumb trail
Of unsent texts and squandered chances
Leading me back to the moment
When I first took you for granted
To set this place ablaze
With the look that you deserved
In the first place
To set this place ablaze
With the look that you deserved
In the first place
Since you found your way back to town
I found my footing
In the calm of you not being around
You thought you had me buried in time
But I'm standing underneath you
Chipping away at the years
Until you fall through
Until you fall back to me
The forest of your hazel eyes
Leaves me without direction
I left a breadcrumb trail
Of unsent texts and squandered chances
Leading me back to the moment
When I first took you for granted
To set this place ablaze
With the look that you deserved
In the first place
The hold you got on me is sickening
You always pick me like a flower
Then you toss me like a weed
You see every plan that you think up
Through to the T
After calculating, estimating every little thing
The hold you got on me is sickening
You always pick me like a flower
Then you toss me like a weed
You see every plan that you think up
Through to the T
After calculating, estimating every little thing
You thought you had me buried in time
But I'm standing underneath you
Chipping away at the years
Until you fall through
Until you fall back to me
The forest of your hazel eyes
Leaves me without direction
I left a breadcrumb trail
Of unsent texts and squandered chances
Leading me back to the moment
When I first took you for granted
To set this place ablaze
With the look that you deserved
In the first place

Last time I won I made the foolish mistake
Not to see you in the same way

Of unsent texts and squandered chances
Leading me back to the moment
When I first took you for granted
To set this place ablaze
With the look that you deserved
In the first place
To set this place ablaze
With the look that you deserved
In the first place
