[Verse 1]
So by the time I hit the stage
My fever'd started breakin'
I could see it all
I could see it all
Why Steven went away
Because he'd said he needed space
I could hear that when we'd speak
He'd grown sore and tired and needed sleep
So we pulled into his hometown likes
Matadors from Spain
Movin' fast like we were air
Even Becky stopped and stared
Because her mother, she had diеd
But her brother, he survivеd
They don't talk that much these days
But you look a lot like him
[Chorus]
So take the lake, I'll take the valley
You'll let me know if you're married
I could use that change of pace
I really hate the way we left things
Can you believe I wake up early now?
Late for some, I'm still learnin' how to
Be the type of person you expected me to be
When we were younger
I think a lot about us back then
[Verse 2]
Then I took TV breaks at 1:15 and I went back to bed
My alarm was never loud
It was drowned out by the sound
Of waves and waves of wasps that tried to get
Inside my bedroom window
Who could blame that when it's warm
All I wanted to do was just leave my home and
Drive around in circles near the airport parkin' lot
Planes that passed us overhead
We'd imagine where they went
Then when I'd see you later
You'd tell me I'm your favorite
You'd tell me we're the same, but
You still think I can't be saved
[Chorus]
So take the lake, I'll take the valley
You'll let me know if you're married
I could use that change of pace
I really hate the way we left things
Can you believe I wake up early now?
Late for some, I'm still learning how to
Be the type of person you expected me to be
When we were younger
I think a lot about us back then
[Bridge]
And if it was warm enough
You'd always try to swim
You'd jump off the bridge, I'd go
I would fall right in
I was the last person we ever thought
Would end up where I am
[Chorus]
So take the lake, I'll take the valley
You'll let me know if you're married
I could use that change of pace
I really hate the way we left things
Can you believe I wake up early now?
Late for some, I'm still learning how to
Be the type of person you expected me to be
When we were younger
I think a lot about us back then
I think a lot about us back then
I think a lot about us back then
I think a lot about us back then
