Hello From Tennessee

I’ve been writing love letters that you’ll never see
Confiding in new friends that you’ll never meet
Forever haunted by the day you said we couldn’t be
But I can’t stop playing all the memories

Of the chaos and beauty that we tried hide
Lying to our friends like “It‘s nothing, alright”
And then falling asleep talking on the phone every night
I guess we were scared that we finally got it right

She knows I’d give it all for another try
And I know she wouldn’t let mе cause it’s not our time
And If that ain’t love, I guеss the devil’s on the rise
Chloe, you’re the only one who ever knew me right

So I keep my head down like it’s some kind of proof
That I remember your horizons and the mornings that we flew
And if the fire starts to fade, I hope you’ll think of me too
You’re my everlasting light, I’m only burning for you, ‘cause

All I want is you
Will you come back to me?
Mmm, mmm, yeah
I’d give it all for you
Will you come back to me?
Mmm, mmm, yeah

Strange cities and unfamiliar streets
It’s been a couple months, I moved to Tennessee
Told all my friends that I’m finally happy
But every night I fall asleep wishing you were with me

I’ve been picking up my phone and then pressing delete
Staring at the ceiling, laying in cold sheets
Singing in lonely clubs about the way we used to be
I’m not a religious man but I prayed she’d come back to me, truth

I guess this is life at twenty-six
Trying to chase a dream and moving love down the list
But if it were up to me girl, it wouldn’t be like this
I’d trade it all to hear your voice and fall asleep with a kiss, ‘cause

All I want is you
Will you come back to me?
Mmm, mmm, yeah
I’d give it all for you
Will you come back to me?
Mmm, mmm, yeah

So I keep someday in the back of my mind
And try to keep hope that real love can defy
These dried tears and cruel nights
Chlo, I miss you so much, this is the test of a lifetime

And I don’t get why you’re scared of this
I love every all of your scars and the darkest parts of you that exist
Yeah, we didn’t expect it
But if there was a risk to take, I think this is it

So I’ll wait
Until the timing’s right
I’ll run from stage to stage until you hear these lines
I meant everything I said, you’re the love of my life
And, I’ll keep singing for you, until we don’t say goodbye, ‘cause

All I want is you
Will you come back to me?
Mmm, mmm, yeah
I’d give it all for you
Will you come back to me?
Mmm, mmm
