Tick tock the clock goes forward
Guess that's how they're built
Know more about moving on
Than I guess I ever will
But I'm a violent weed
Or so I have been told
So I still like to think
That you knew my ghost
Maybe I haunted you, like you haunted me
Where wisteria grew on our wild bare feet
Where you left me like a legacy
Begging you to change your mind
And it's not just me who shines the glass
Of the sacred scenes in our sunset past
Where I said in my head "we were made to last"
Right before you said goodbye
Summer dress spun round a kitchen
Sunburnt legs, know I was a vision
Please say it hurt, yeah just a bit
That it left a bruise cause we both know it did
I wasted all that youth
Trying on strangers' clothes
To find the version of me
You loved on the drive home
A new day creeping in
Cause you can't outrun the dawn
And how you kinda came back
That was kinda hard to come back from
Maybe I haunted you, like you haunted me
Where wisteria grew on our wild bare feet
Where you left me like a legacy
Begging you to change your mind
And it's not just me who shines the glass
Of the sacred scenes in our sunset past
Where I said in my head "we were made to last"
Right before you said goodbye
Summer dress spun round a kitchen
Sunburnt legs, know I was a vision
Please say it hurt, yeah just a bit
That it left a bruise, cause we both know it did
Manual car stopped by the water
Made me laugh, knew I was a goner
Please say it hurt, salt in the wound
If you say it didn't I guess I'll burn the books
I guess I'll burn the books
I guess, I, I
I've been meaning to retire a bunch of these songs anyway
Not that anyone really cares what I have to say
But either way
Maybe I haunted you, like you haunted me
Where wisteria grew on our wild bare feet
Where you left me like a legacy
Begging you to change your mind
And it's not just me who shines the glass
Of the sacred scenes in our sunset past
Where I said in my head "we were made to last"
Right before you said goodbye
Summer dress spun round a kitchen
Sunburnt legs, know I was a vision
Please say it hurt, yeah just a bit
That it left a bruise, cause we both know it did
Manual car stopped by the water
Made me laugh, knew I was a goner
Please say it hurt, salt in the wound
If you say it didn't I guess I'll burn the books
I guess I'll burn the books
I guess I'll burn the books
