You​/​Him (Maybe)

[Verse 1]
Happy happened while we were doing other things
I still feel your hand sliding up my knee
Softly softly
Makes me look at dead flowers and wanna cry
Because I didn't look hard enough
While they were still alive
You watered my heart like summer fruit
Nurtured me ’til I grew
Until I was too ripe for you
And Fell into the arms of someone new
Rhythmically I erase your name
From the places that I see every day
The memories start to fade
The way you look at me changes

[Chorus]
You were a big city trapped in a small town
With sacred places I learned and I loved well
He was a small town trapped in a big city
Couldn't cut himself to fit so he tried to cut me
He tried to cut me
He tried to cut me

[Verse 2]
Maybe when you're not a thousand miles away
We can make out in your car on some music-less day
Maybe by then we’ll be ready
We can pretend it's the first time
The day you knew you were synesthetic
Sensed the way I tugged on his jacket
I loved you more than that even then
I always loved you more than him

[Chorus]
You were a big city trapped in a small town
With sacred places I learned and I loved well
He was a small town trapped in a big city
Couldn't cut himself to fit so he tried to cut me
He tried to cut me
He tried to cut me

[Chorus]
You were a big city trapped in a small town
With sacred places I learned and I loved well
He was a small town trapped in a big city
Couldn't cut himself to fit so he tried to cut me
He tried to cut me
He tried to cut me
