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
Sakrili ste me u svojoj spavaonici
Bio je to Halloweekend, samo sam letio po svijetu
Dvadeset i dva sata samo da te vidim
Samo da se jedva uklopi u svoj krevet veličine blizanaca
I razgovarati o svom cool novom prijatelju
Koga nikad nisam upoznao, koga ste izlazili čim sam otišao
[Stih 2]
Karolina jesen
Prošlo je godinu dana otkad sam te vidio
Budući da smo ga završili
Imao godinu dana da preraste 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 izmijeniti"
Pa, je li to način na koji smo tada krenuli?
[Predhorus]
I nisi mi mogao odgovoriti
Iako bi me mogao uvući dok sam oprao zube
I pustite da vaše ruke slobodno govore
Kao da nikad nisam otišao, odlazi
[Zbor]
Bili ste sve što sam ikad poznavao
A sada bih te trebao voljeti iz daljine
Kao da nije ništa, kao da je instant
A vi kažete: "Da vidimo samo kamo ovo ide"
I ne znam kako ili zašto izgledaš sasvim u redu
Jer moram shvatiti da više nisi moj
Tako je okrutno kako su stvari gotovo kao da su bile prije
[Post-zbor]
Kao i prije
Kao i prije
Kao i prije
[Stih 3]
Hodamo u centru grada i šarmantno je
Alarmantno razoružava
Da, preostalo nam je četrdeset i osam sati
Prije nego što odletim na smrt
Dok ostajete dobro i osjećate se živo
Južno od linije Mason-Dixon
Gdje se svi zatvaraju u devet
Gdje biste nekako mogli napokon pronaći
[Predhorus]
Ono što ste očajnički tražili
Smiješno kako si mislio da će to biti New York
S našim zidovima na ploči i nagnutim podovima
Oh, to smo mogli imati i puno više
Pitajte svog novog ljubavnika kako je to dati
Prava šansa za borbu prije nego što joj poželite, "Dobra Riddance"
Je li išta stvarno računalo
Ili sam bio samo dvogodišnji krug prakse?
[Zbor]
Bili ste sve što sam ikad poznavao
I sad se osjećam glupo, zabranjeno si
Kažu, da, bili smo nešto, previše loše da smo bili djeca
Ooh, ne znam kamo ići
I ne znam kako ili zašto izgledaš sasvim u redu
Jer vas gledam i Bog zna da više nisi moj
Tako je okrutno kako stvari nikada neće biti kakvi su bile prije
[Outro]
Kao i prije
Gotovo je baš kao što je bilo prije
Ali više nije
