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
Sakrio si me u svojoj spavaonici
Bio je to Halloweend, upravo sam letio širom svijeta
Dvadeset i dva sata samo da te vidim
Samo da jedva uklapamo na krevet veličine dvostruke veličine
I razgovarajte o svom cool novom prijatelju
Koga nikad nisam sreo, ko si izlazio čim sam otišao
[VERSE 2]
Karolina jesen
Prošlo je godinu dana od kada sam te vidio
Otkad smo ga završili
Imao godinu dana da raste u djevojku koju ste oduvijek željeli
Sada se držimo za ruke kao ne baš prijatelji
Ali ne baš ljubavnici
Pa, samo ćemo se pretvarati
Kažete: "Komplicirano je da se izmijenimo"
Pa, je li to način na koji smo tada krenuli?
[Pre-hor]
I nisi mi mogao odgovoriti
Iako biste me mogli povući dok sam srušio zube
I pustite ruke da slobodno govore
Kao da nikad nisam otišao, odlazim
[Chorus]
Bili ste sve što sam ikad poznavao
A sada bih trebao da te volim iz daljine
Kao da nije ništa, kao da je to instant
A vi kažete: "Idemo samo tamo gde to ide"
I ne znam kako ili zašto izgledaš dobro
Jer moram shvatiti da nešto više ne moj
Tako je okrutno kako su stvari samo gotovo kao da su prije
[Post-chorus]
Kao da su bili prije
Kao da su bili prije
Kao da su bili prije
[VERSE 3]
Hodamo u centru grada i šarmantno je
Alarmantno se razoružati
Da, ostalo nam je četrdeset i osam sati
Prije nego što letim na smrt
Dok ostanete dobro i osjećate se živom
Južno od mason-dixon linije
Gdje se svi zatvaraju trgovinu u devet
Gde možete nekako napokon pronaći
[Pre-hor]
Šta si očajnički tražio
Smiješno kako si mislio da će to biti New York
Sa našim zidovima na ploči i nagnutim podovima
Oh, mogli smo to i toliko više imati
Pitajte svog novog ljubavnika kako je da se daje
Prave borbene šanse prije nego što je poželite, "Dobar Riddance"
Je li nešto zaista prebrojalo
Ili sam bio samo dvogodišnja vježba?
[Chorus]
Bili ste sve što sam ikad poznavao
A sada se osjećam glupo, zabranjeno si
Kažu, da, bili smo nešto, previše loše, bili smo djeca
Ooh, ne znam gde da idem
I ne znam kako ili zašto izgledaš dobro
Jer te gledam i Bog zna da više nisi moj
Tako je okrutno kako stvari nikada neće biti onako kako su bile prije
[Outro]
Kao da su bili prije
Gotovo je baš kao što je bilo i prije
Ali to više nije
