"before it" august 1st, 2023
verse 1
she was older than me in the fourth grade
i'd hang on to every word she sang
like tomorrow it'd all start to fade
verse 2
she had eyes brown like chocolate diamonds
but her smile was empty like a distant island
gaze stretched out towards the horizon
verse 3
catching fireflies in my backyard
knees are beat up, broken, scarred
from falling, but it's not that hard
verse 4
to forget the pain, it's temporary
sometimes the dark isn't that scary
air tastes sweet like candied cherries.
chorus
why did it end?
i didn't want it to.
but it's over now.
wasted my time
falling over you
but it's over now.
outro
you got mean and i bore it
you went cold, shouldered it
i tried and tired to ignore it
can we go back to before it?
you got mean and i bore it
you went cold, shouldered it
i tried and tired to ignore it
can we go back to before it?
you got mean and i bore it
you went cold, shouldered it
i tried and tired to ignore it
can we go back to before it?
you got mean and i bore it
you went cold, shouldered it
i tried and tired to ignore it
can we go back to before it?
-i fucking love this
