​for the record

[Verse 1]
I’ll never understand how all this happened
How we came to click so fast, I couldn’t even imagine
How come a month felt like a day, but a day felt like a lifetime
A life where I felt alive between ten and nine

[Chorus]
Now the pain in my chest is only getting worse
And I’m trying to hold it together just like we rehearsed
And I know the first won’t be the last, but god damn it better get here fast

For the record, I wouldn’t change a thing
For the record, I’d do it all again

[Verse 2]
Now it’s 12:44 and my flight’s delayed (flight’s delayed)
And I’m replaying all our moments in my head
I watched you down the stairs until you disappeared
You avoided looking back to try to block the tears

There’s a woman next to me at the airport (at the airport)
She says she’s sad to leave, but what would she know
I’m mad at everything and everyone that’s smiling
‘Cause if this plane goes down, I’ll go down crying

[Chorus]
Now the pain in my chest is only getting tighter
And I’m doing my best but you can’t fight fire with fire
And I know the first won’t be the last, but god damn it better get here fast

For the record, I wouldn’t change a thing
For the record, I’d do it all again

[Bridge]
And you’ll never spend the tenner that I gave you
And I’ll keep the subway ticket and I’ll pretend that it’s brand new
When it took me a whole minute just to be able to move

[Outro]
Don’t say goodbye so fast next time
Hug me longer next time

Hmmm
Hm-mmm-mm
