My heart is sinking
Heart in my throat
Drowning in your quondam leather glaze
And now I spend my weekends solitary
And remember of all that I did now that I don't
You moved out the Due west
And I moved to the city,
Made split beds
But I still hold y'all in my chest
When things aren't looking pretty
Wishing you the best

"As someone who'due south experienced a long distance human relationship, it feels like this song really captures the bike of worrying and missing and confusion."
Poetri'southward 2d verse finds her diving even deeper into this anguished cycle:
But am I kidding
Myself it's later midnight
Kick myself for staying
Could I flick myself believing
Picture myself believing
Am I holding the words my head wants to hibernate
Thinking the worst forever
Could I picture myself believing
Picture myself believing in usa
My head says one thing simply this feels amazing
Forever is something merely together were crazy
You moved out the w and I moved to the city
Made carve up beds
Just I all the same concur you in my chest when things aren't looking pretty
Wishing you the best

Am I kidding myself it's after midnight
Kicking myself to stay in could I
Motion picture myself assertive
Picture myself believing
Am I holding the words my head wants to hide
thinking the worst forever could I
Picture Myself assertive
Picture show myself believing in us
I don't know why
No, I don't know why
I'm this style
Staying all night
Only what if I leave today
And I don't know why
Why I'm afraid to stay
