before it Lyrics

You were older than me in the fourth grade

I hung onto every word that you sang

Like tomorrow it'd all start to fade

You had eyes brown like chocolate diamonds

But your smile was empty like a distant island

Gaze stretched out towards the horizon

Catching fireflies in my backyard

Knees are beat up, broken, scarred

From falling but it's not that hard

To forget the pain, it's temporary

Sometimes the dark isn't that scary

Air tastes sweet like candied cherries

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

You went mean and I bore it

You went cold, shouldered it

I tried and tried to ignore it

Can we go back to before it?

You went mean and I bore it

You went cold, shouldered it

I tried and tried to ignore it

Can we go back to before it?

You went mean and I bore it

You went cold, shouldered it

I tried and tried to ignore it

Can we go back to before it?

You went mean and I bore it

You went cold, shouldered it

I tried and tried to ignore it

Can we go back to before it?

You went mean and I bore it

You went cold, shouldered it

I tried and tried to ignore it

Can we go back to before it?

You went mean and I bore it

You went cold, shouldered it

I tried and tried to ignore it

Can we go back to before it?
