[Verse 1]
It’s too sad, so we pretend
That every promise made are ones we'll keep
And every summer's had to end
But it’s never felt so bittersweet

[Pre-Chorus]
I need to go before I lose control
They try to crush my dreams into their plastic molds
I’ll hold your heart in my right pocket
And when you miss me darling, don’t forget

[Chorus]
We’re holding onto love with white knuckles
But I don’t wanna hurt anymore
I got your pink hoodie in my duffle
To make believe I'm back in your arms

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause it’s time to see (White knuckles)
What I could be (White knuckles)
And if you love me start by letting go
'Cause it’s time to see (White knuckles)
What I could be (White knuckles)
And if you love me start by letting go
[Verse 2]
Run your hands, through my hair
And I’m wishing that time would stop
But being yours, isn’t fair
If I’m being someone that I’m not, oh, babe

[Pre-Chorus]
I need to go before I lose control
They try to crush my dreams into their plastic molds
I’ll hold your heart in my right pocket
And when you miss me darling, don’t forget

[Chorus]
We’re holding onto love with white knuckles
But I don’t wanna hurt anymore
I got your pink hoodie in my duffle
To make believe I'm back in your arms

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause it’s time to see
What I could be
And if you love me start by letting go
'Cause it’s time to see
What I could be
And if you love me start by letting go
Go
[Chorus]
We’re holding onto love with white knuckles
But I don’t wanna hurt anymore
I got your pink hoodie in my duffle
To make believe I'm back in your arms

[Post-Chorus]
I need to see (White knuckles)
What I could be (White knuckles)
And if you love me start by letting go
'Cause it’s time to see (White knuckles)
What I could be (White knuckles)
And if you love me start by letting go

[Outro]
It’s too sad, so we pretend
That every promise made are ones we'll keep
