Maisie said on Instagram:
it’s taken upon a new meaning in my life since writing it a year ago and now to me reflects all my friends moving to uni this autum...
[Verse 1]
Cross-legged, sitting in your mum's kitchen
My word's missing, and I like the way you sing
And I like the way you think 'bout the weather forecast
'Cause this summer won't last
Ripped photographs, whisper secrets to the wind
This is a battle I won't win
[Chorus]
You'll go and I'll know
I owe you all the love you showed me I deserved
The gold that I was worth
You built me up like architecture
Boy, you'll break my heart, I'll let ya
'Cause no one nowhere knows me better than you
[Verse 2]
Your bags are packed, my words are stacked
Towers of paperbacks with all that I won't say
The dreams we used to make
Now your train ticket takes my breath with it
But you're the biggest and the brightest that this place has ever made
And I can't ask you stay
[Chorus]
You'll go and I'll know
I owe you all the love you showed me I deserved
The gold that I was worth
You built me up like architecture
Boy, you'll break my heart, I'll let ya
'Cause no one nowhere knows me better than you
[Bridge]
You were borrowed, now I'm blue
Oh, nobody new could be better than you
[Chorus]
You'll go and I'll know
That I owe you all the love you showed me I deserved
The gold that I was worth, oh
You'll go and I'll know
I owe you all the love you showed me I deserved
The gold that I was worth
[Post-Chorus]
You built me up like architecture
Boy, you'll break my heart, I'll let ya
'Cause no one nowhere knows me better than you
