[Verse 1]
Pinch me now
You're caught in my crossfire
Fell into my arms, but they got tired
We were so good, weren't we?
'Til it just stopped working
Almost like we tore out the same page
And left a lot of room for new mistakes
You never quite let me in
When you felt cracks again
[Chorus 1]
I stopped waving a flag
I just dropped all caring for that
I went quiet and you went cold
Guess that happened when we got older
[Verse 2]
Humor me
Could taking a break be the better thing?
Just letting each other breathe
Won't you just look at me? Or am I too draining?
[Chorus 2]
You spent hours awake holding back
I know I'm to blame for the small talk
And tiptoeing over
Guess that happened when we got older
[Instrumental Bridge]
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
[Outro]
You spent hours awake holding back
I know I'm to blame for the small talk
And tiptoeing over
Guess that happened when we got older
