I'd trade the world for just the rush that I'd be given
If you'd remember what I said, whatever I said
Hand to god, I'd never met you before
But you still spend your whole day
Just running through my head
We would never have made it this way
We would never have stayed out this late
I carry on these conversations in my sleep
Just to hear your invented little voice
I break the spine of the rule book from time to time
As if I ever had an inkling of a choice
We would never have waited this date
We would never have made this mistake
Kill the lights now
And you are the only one left in the spotlight
And unbearable resemblance to yourself
And all that I can do is telescope my voice to you
And wait and pray for word that you might need a little help
Just the way that I do whenever I'm alone
Hanging by a thinning thread here in a spotlight of my own
You kill the lights now and tell me it's not scary
When you're forced into a corner
With the boy you have to carry on
I'm not so great when it comes to making introductions
And I'm sorry for when I fall flat on my face
It's just defensive with a pinch of lack thereof
That feels so free to come along and put me in my place
We would never have broken this day
We would never have made our escape
We would never have made it this way, no
With forever left out in our wake
