[Verse 1]
Hey, do you miss me?
Like I miss you
It's okay
I think about you too
[Pre-Chorus]
Like the time we sat on our balcony
And the rain was pouring heavily
And you lit the wrong end of your cigarette
And you claimed all the cool kids did it like that
[Chorus]
But it's harsh
Oh, it's harsh
To know that we don't suit that well
Oh, it's harsh
Babe, it's harsh
[Verse 2]
Come on over just one more time
Cause if it's one more time
Then we'll be just fine
Kick it, like we used to do
And I'll dance for you in our living room
[Pre-Chorus]
Drinking whisky, watching old TV
But I feel your gaze pouring over me
I blush and put my face inside my knees
Oh, I wish you'd surfed the sun with me
[Chorus]
Still, it's harsh
Oh, it's harsh
To know that we don't suit that well
Oh, it's harsh
Babe, it's harsh
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Oh, it's harsh
Yes, it's harsh
To know that we don't suit that well
Oh, it's harsh
Babe, it's harsh
