I just wanna know
How it’s supposed to go
When everything falls apart
You’ve nothing left to show
But the aching in your gut
Bottle shards and broken bones
You burn up your childhood clothes
Does it make you feel alone?

I saw you there
Melting in the summer heat
Your words so bare
I could see past everything
You say to me
You say to me

Your friends seem nice
Fucked up in the best way
Every single time it’s so hard just to say
Can you stay a while?
Can you stay a while?

I’ll see you on weekends
I promise that I’ll try again
When the fall rolls around
Autumn leaves on the ground
Outside your apartment
On the sidewalk to my house
I heard that joke that you told
Never could figure it out

And I watched you grow up in a beach town
We were just kids then
Desperate to be found
Our adolescence we grip so tightly
To the root of our chests
No, we can’t ever forget it

Empty building
I saw light pour through
The holes in the roof
Enveloping you
I couldn’t see you
In the pale light
I couldn’t see you
In the pale light

There’s still footprints on my shoulders from you standing up so tall
When you saw the whole world up there, did it make you wanna fall?
There’s still footprints on my shoulders from you standing up so tall
When you saw the whole world up there, did it make you wanna fall?
