“i’m doing good, i’m on some new shit.”
“i thought i saw you at the bus stop, i didn’t though.”
“if you never bleed, you’re never gonna grow.”
“we were something, don’t you think so?”
“if my wishes came true, it would’ve been you.”
“in my defense, i have none.”
“it would’ve been fun if you would’ve been the one.”
“i have this dream you’re doing cool shit.”
“and it’s another day of waking up alone.”
“if one thing had been different, would everything be different today?”
“it would’ve been sweet if it could’ve been me.”
“when you are young, they assume you know nothing.”
“i knew you dancing in your levi’s, drunk under a streelight.”
“i knew you hand under my sweatshirt, baby kiss it better.”
“i felt like i was an old cardigan under someone’s bed.”
“you put me on and said i was your favorite.”
“a friend to all is a friend to none.”
“chase two girls, lose the one.”
“i knew you playing hide and seek and giving me your weekends.”
“to kiss in cars and downtown bars was all we needed.”
“you drew stars around my scars.”
“now i’m bleeding.”
“i knew you tried to change the ending, peter losing wendy.”
“i knew you’d linger like a tattoo kiss.”
“i knew you’d haunt all of my what ifs.”
“i knew you’d miss me once the thrill expired.”
“you’d be standing in my front porch light.”
“i knew you’d come back to me.”
