lyrics

it's not getting colder and we’re getting older
we’re tryna dig out what was buried deep down
it's ensnared in roots and dirt and excavation’s gonna hurt
and i know what i’m looking for, but i don’t know what i’ll find

it's not what we planned; it’s not what we wanted
but this is the hand we’ve dealt ourselves
and i know i can’t do what i want so badly to
cuz all that i want is to ask you

can i come over?
cuz i can’t do this alone
and i know you shouldn’t
but only you feel like home anymore
no matter what shore we’re on
just hold me and we can pretend
if we don’t speak that this will not end
please don’t break the spell
we’ve got so much more to tell

you asked me bout religion
and i asked if i could come in to grab my guitar
(you were close but so far)
cried outside the parking lot on the corner god forgot
cuz i remember every last part

all the times we held hands,
all the times we watched bands play in yr garage
(now feels like a mirage)
all the plans that we made that have now been replaced
by my flawless facade
(act like i dont want you but all i want is you)

can i come over?
cuz i can’t do this alone
and i know you shouldn’t
but only you feel like home anymore
no matter what shore we’re on
just hold me and we can pretend
if we don’t speak that this will not end
please don’t break the spell
we’ve got so much more to tell

but this ain't a movie
and god only knows what comes next
you see right through me
shine yr light and see what projects on the big screen
things previously unseen
(ill) melt with you just like celluloid
the flames kiss you
what’s saved can’t be destroyed
burn the theatres down
freeze frame like john hughes now
