Lyrics: zayauhn taylor-thomas/Padraig Greene/Eva Butcher
I spent yesterday right beside you
Hung out with some friends, thought to write you
It's dinner and we're talking about you
There's a party next week, i'll invite you
I'll pick you up from the bayou
Do you like it here? because i do, i do, i do, i do
Do you like it here? because i do, i do, i do
I think i wanna be like you
My mom calls and she says i'm looking older
I'm miles away, i don't need her on my shoulder
I look back and i'm so proud that i was a soldier
I'm so proud that i might hold ya
Tonight, i look back at the crowd and i trust that i'll be fine
Wanna live so much that i don't ever worry 'bout dying
There's a world where it hurts and that kills me all the time
Yeah, god, hold him tight, yeah
God, keep me in your head because i love you
Girl, keep me in your head because i love you
God, keep me in your head because i love you
Girl, keep me in your head because i love you
I wanna girl from above, forever-ever-ever-more
I wanna god from above, forever-ever-ever-more
I wanna girl from above, forever-ever-ever-more
I wanna god from above, forever-ever-ever-more
God knows of my loose ends, oh, how he haunts in every way
To my friends all back at home will i reach out or just decay?
And i feel like such a klutz because i don't know what to say
How i trip all on my words, my untied shoes seen better days
If we talking 'bout money i can't complain, to the fans or the world i'd say the same
But i look at my city in some dismay, how would it change if i'd just stay?
Feel so selfish in my ways, feels dumber to feel this way
You've got everything you want outside, but home is where you break
I wanna catch it, but i guess that this joke is one i won't dawn on
When you look at it is life bad or am i drawn to the past? oh
Learn that it won't be sad if you walk out with your head strong
Gotta finish what i led on, i love you, but i'm heading on, girl
I wanna catch it, but i guess that this joke is one i won't dawn on
When you look at it is life bad or am i drawn to the past? oh
Learn that it won't be sad if you walk out with your head strong
Gotta finish what i led on, i love you, but i'm heading on, girl
It's a flame, it's a glow that was overexposed
Now it's superimposed on your timeline
In the rain, that then froze, i was left predisposed
To the stain on my bones to the landslide
And i don't think it'll ever stop, nothing good is ever that stable
For the chance alone i'm grateful, for the chance alone—
Do you love me, do you love me not? did we leave it all on the table?
For that chance alone i'm grateful, for the chance alone—
Do you love me, do you love me not?
For that chance alone i'm grateful, for the chance alone—
(with that comes, you know, you just say what (?...), and, um—, i'm open to the things that are gonna besorta be thrown in front of me and i wanna stay that way, you know?)
(rather than shutting down you wanna stay open with your—, with your, all of your senses, horrific, and all of your heart)
I spent yesterday right beside you
Hung out with some friends, thought to write you
It's dinner and we're talking about you
There's a party next week, i'll invite you
I'll pick you up from the bayou
Do you like it here? because i do, i do, i do, i do
Do you like it here? because i do, i do, i do
I think i wanna be like you
My mom calls and she says i'm looking older
I'm miles away, i don't need her on my shoulder
Always lie to my friends to make them all feel better
Stay asleep and waste in rot, all-time pretender
I look back at the crowd and i trust that i'll be fine
When i wait so much that i don't ever worry about time
In a garden of forking paths with no exit sign
Girl, hold on tight
