[Verse 1: Lindsay Ell]
The way we said goodbye
Still brings water to my eyes in my bedroom
I know you said it wouldn't work
But I still don't have the nerve to believe you, hm-mm
[Pre-Chorus: Lindsay Ell]
But when it's late at night and I can't sleep
I miss the way it was when we were twenty-three
It's tearin' me up right now 'cause I know, I know
[Chorus: Lindsay Ell & Jonathan Capeci]
I shouldn't call you
'Cause it always ends the same
I shouldn't want to
When I'm passin' by your place
I pick up my phone, I can't be left alone
I try to let it go, I know I know better
I shouldn't call you
But I don't know how, I don't know how not to
[Verse 2: Jonathan Capeci]
It's still my gut reaction
My insecure attachment
Can't stop my heart from racin'
Hands are shakin', bound to happen
[Pre-Chorus: Lindsay Ell & Jonathan Capeci]
In the back of your car with your hands on me
I miss the way it was when we were twenty-three
It's tearin' me up right now 'cause I know, I know
[Chorus: Lindsay Ell & Jonathan Capeci, Jonathan Capeci]
I shouldn't call you
'Cause it always ends the same
I shouldn't want to
When I'm passin' by your place
I pick up my phone, I can't be left alone
I try to let it go, I know I know better
I shouldn't call you (I shouldn't call you)
But I don't know how, I don't know how not to
[Bridge: Lindsay Ell & Jonathan Capeci]
It's been hard to break all the habits I made
When you're one call away, I can't stand that
Look on your face, got it stuck in my brain
And I hate it, but I know that
[Chorus: Lindsay Ell & Jonathan Capeci, Jonathan Capeci]
I shouldn't call you
'Cause it always ends the same
I shouldn't want to (I shouldn't want to)
When I'm passin' by your place
I pick up my phone, I can't be left alone
I try to let it go, I know I know better
I shouldn't call you (I shouldn't call you)
But I don't know how, I don't know how not to
[Outro: Lindsay Ell & Jonathan Capeci]
No, I don't know how, I don't know how not to
