permanent marker Lyrics

I found a photo from September

Hanging up on the wall of my room

Feet in the water, last days of summer

I'm walking past you a year later

Wish we spoke but when i look in your eyes

I just see a stranger

I wish i could hate ya

So here i am, on the floor of my room

Writing pages of words that i'll never say to you

'Cause then we were young but i'll find you again someday

And here you stay in my camera roll

Low exposure in your bright orange clothes

Reminders of time that i wasted and you threw away

Now i'm just left with your face

I found the heart you drew for me November

Is it crazy to wish we had lasted like permanent marker?

The ink's gotten darker

And there are good days and bad days

And days i feel nothing at all

And days when i fall back

Into the same patterns

Of blue eyes, blonde hair

Daydreams, nightmares

Thinking what i'd do without you

Lunch dates, blank stares

No more words left

Maybe time will lead me back to you

So here i am, on the floor of my room

Writing pages of words that i'll never say to you

'Cause then we were young but i'll find you again someday

And here you stay in my camera roll

Low exposure in your bright orange clothes

Reminders of time that i wasted and you threw away

Now i'm just left with your face

Guess we flipped through every page

Now our story's over

Wrote it down and then erased

All the things i never told ya

Wish that we had stayed the same

But it was right person, wrong place

You know, it's better for us this way

Now here i am, on the floor of my room

Ripping pages of words that i never gave to you

'Cause i like to think that i'll love you again one day

And here you stay in my camera roll

Low exposure in your bright orange clothes

The first time we spoke and i knew my

Heart was yours

Yeah, here i am, on the floor of my room

Writing pages of words that i'll never say to you

'Cause i still have hope that i'll find you again someday

And here you stay in my camera roll

Low exposure in your bright orange clothes

Reminders of time that i wasted and you threw away

Now i'm just left with your face
