You hid me in your dorm room
It was Halloweekend, I just flew across the globe
Twenty-two hours just to see you
Just to barely fit on your twin-sized bed
You hid me in your dorm room
It was Halloweekend, I just flew across the globe
Twenty-two hours just to see you
Just to barely fit on your twin-sized bed
And talk about your cool new friend
Who I never met, who you dated as soon as I left
[Verse 2]
Carolina autumn
It had been a year since I saw you
Since we ended it
Had a year to grow into the girl you always wanted
Now we're holding hands as not quite friends
But not quite lovers
Well, we'll just pretend
You say, "It's complicated to make amends"
Well, is that the way that we're headed then?
[Pre-Chorus]
And you couldn't answer me
Though you could pull me in while I brushed my teeth
And let your hands both freely speak
Like I wasn't ever gonna leave, leave
[Chorus]
You were all I'd ever known
And now I'm supposed to love you from a distance
Like it's nothing, like it's instant
And you say, "Let's just see where this goes"
And I don't know how or why you seem just fine
Cause I'm having to grasp that you're somehow not mine anymore
It's so cruel how things are only almost like they were before
[Post-Chorus]
Like they were before
Like they were before
Like they were before
[Verse 3]
We walk downtown and it's charming
You're alarmingly disarming
Yeah, we've got forty-eight hours left
Before I fly back to my death
While you stay just fine and feel alive
South of the Mason-Dixon line
Where everyone closes shop at nine
Where you could somehow finally find
[Pre-Chorus]
What you were desperately looking for
Funny how you thought that was gonna be New York
With our chalkboard walls and slanted floors
Oh, we could've had that and so much more
Ask your new lover what it's like to be given
A real fighting chance before you wish her, "Good riddance"
Did anything ever really count
Or was I just a two-year practice round?
[Chorus]
You were all I'd ever known
And now I'm feeling stupid, you're forbidden
They say, yeah, we were something, too bad we were children
Ooh, I don't know where to go
And I don't know how or why you seem just fine
Cause I'm looking at you and God knows you're not mine anymore
It's so cruel how things will never be the way they were before
[Outro]
Like they were before
It's almost just like how it was before
But it's not anymore
Itinago mo ako sa iyong dorm room
Ito ay Halloeekend, lumipad lang ako sa buong mundo
Dalawampu't dalawang oras lamang upang makita ka
Lamang na halos magkasya sa iyong twin-sized na kama
At pag -usapan ang tungkol sa iyong cool na bagong kaibigan
Sino ang hindi ko nakilala, kung sino ang napetsahan mo sa sandaling umalis ako
[Taludtod 2]
Carolina Autumn
Isang taon na mula nang makita kita
Dahil natapos namin ito
Nagkaroon ng isang taon upang lumago sa batang babae na lagi mong nais
Ngayon kami ay may hawak na kamay na hindi masyadong kaibigan
Ngunit hindi masyadong mahilig
Well, magpapanggap lang tayo
Sinabi mo, "kumplikado na gumawa ng mga pagbabago"
Well, ganyan ba ang paraan ng ulo natin noon?
[Bago mag chorus]
At hindi mo ako masagot
Kahit na maaari mo akong hilahin habang pinupukaw ko ang aking ngipin
At hayaan ang iyong mga kamay kapwa malayang magsalita
Tulad ng hindi ako kailanman umalis, umalis
[Koro]
Lahat kayo ay kilala ko
At ngayon mahal kita mula sa malayo
Tulad ng wala, tulad ng instant
At sasabihin mo, "Tingnan natin kung saan ito pupunta"
At hindi ko alam kung paano o kung bakit parang maayos ka lang
Sanhi kailangan kong maunawaan na kahit papaano hindi na ako
Napakalupit kung paano ang mga bagay ay halos katulad nila dati
[Post-Chorus]
Tulad ng dati
Tulad ng dati
Tulad ng dati
[Taludtod 3]
Naglalakad kami sa bayan at kaakit -akit
Nakaka -alarma ka
Oo, mayroon kaming apatnapu't walong oras na natitira
Bago ako lumipad pabalik sa aking kamatayan
Habang nananatili kang maayos at pakiramdam na buhay
Timog ng linya ng Mason-Dixon
Kung saan ang lahat ay nagsasara ng shop sa siyam
Kung saan maaari mong kahit papaano mahanap
[Bago mag chorus]
Kung ano ang iyong hinahanap
Nakakatawa kung paano mo naisip na magiging New York
Kasama ang aming mga dingding ng pisara at slanted floor
Oh, maaari naming magkaroon iyon at higit pa
Tanungin ang iyong bagong kasintahan kung ano ang nais ibigay
Isang tunay na pagkakataon sa pakikipaglaban bago mo siya hilingin, "Magandang Riddance"
May nabibilang ba talaga
O dalawang taon lang akong pagsasanay?
[Koro]
Lahat kayo ay kilala ko
At ngayon nakakaramdam ako ng hangal, ipinagbabawal ka
Sinabi nila, oo, kami ay isang bagay, napakasama namin ay mga bata
Ooh, hindi ko alam kung saan pupunta
At hindi ko alam kung paano o kung bakit parang maayos ka lang
Dahil tinitingnan kita at alam ng Diyos na hindi ka na akin
Napakalupit kung paano ang mga bagay ay hindi kailanman magiging paraan nila dati
[Outro]
Tulad ng dati
Ito ay halos tulad ng kung paano ito dati
Ngunit hindi na
