...so why don’t you know me after all this time?
‘Cus I felt your stomach
down my whole left side.
It’s raining on the concrete,
it’s hard to watch it all come down,
Your sighs were in my orbit,
can’t you get your own damn sky?

so...I couldn’t cope with sleeping on your side,
it set my serotonin into overdrive -
I’d ask for my deposit,
but I don’t wanna be that guy.
Your words were parabolic,
I guess that I’m your alumni.

...now I’m all of a flutter, just like you described.
We’ll always have the summer when your home was mine,
but this morning’s feeling warmer,
and it’s safe to say that I’m excited.
Sure, it all was torture,
but I think I’m gonna be alright.

For all its worth, I’ve earned a little time.
No, don’t get up. I won’t be a while.
Just so you know, you’re still a friend of mine.
For what it’s worth, I won’t forget about you.
