[00:00.55]You hid me in your dorm room
[00:03.42]It was Halloweekend I just flew
[00:07.15]Across the globe 22 hours just to see you
[00:13.39]Just to barely fit on your twin-sized bed
[00:17.41]And talk about your cool new friend
[00:20.78]Who I never met
[00:22.49]Who you dated as soon as I left
[00:28.20]Appalachian autumn
[00:30.77]It had been a year since I saw you since we
[00:35.03]Ended it had a year to grow into the girl you always wanted
[00:40.85]Now we're holding hands as not quite friends but not quite lovers
[00:46.71]But we'll just pretend
[00:48.18]You say it's complicated to make amends
[00:51.58]Well is that the way that we're headed then
[00:55.72]And you couldn't answer me
[00:58.22]Though you could pull me in while I brushed my teeth
[01:02.00]And let your hands both freely speak like I wasn't ever gonna leave
[01:12.80]You were all I'd ever known
[01:17.92]And now I'm supposed to love you from a distance
[01:22.24]Like it's nothing like its instant
[01:25.66]And youuuu say let's just see where this goes
[01:31.54]And I don't know how or why you seem just fine
[01:36.10]Coz I'm having to grasp that you're somehow not mine anymore
[01:41.53]It's so cruel how things are only almost like they were before
[01:47.04]Ah ah ah Like they were before
[01:50.74]Ah ah ah Like they were before
[01:54.24]Ah ah ah Like they were before
[02:00.44]We walk downtown and it's charming
[02:03.91]You're alarmingly disarming
[02:06.40]Yeah we've got 48 hours left
[02:10.62]Before I fly back to my death
[02:13.73]While you stay just fine and feel alive
[02:17.41]South of the Mason-Dixon line
[02:20.74]Where everyone closes shop at 9
[02:24.40]Where you could somehow finally find
[02:28.16]What you were desperately looking for
[02:31.26]Funny how you thought that was gonna be New York
[02:34.45]With our chalkboard walls and slanted floors
[02:38.13]Oh we could've had that and so much more
[02:41.73]Ask your new lover what it's like to be given
[02:44.71]A real fighting chance before you bid her good riddance
[02:48.24]Did anything ever really count
[02:51.63]Or was I just a two-year practice round
[02:57.50]Youuuu were all I'd ever known
[03:02.58]And now I'm feeling stupid you're forbidden
[03:06.75]They say yeah we were something
[03:08.66]Too bad we were children
[03:10.78]Ooooh I don't know where to go
[03:16.07]And I don't know how or why you seem just fine
[03:20.68]Coz I'm looking at you & God knows you're not mine anymore
[03:26.14]It's so cruel how things will never be the way they were before
[03:33.24]Like they were before
[03:36.67]It's almost just like how it was before
[03:43.24]But it's not anymore

You hid me in your dorm room
It was Halloweekend I just flew
Across the globe 22 hours just to see you
Just to barely fit on your twin-sized bed
And talk about your cool new friend
Who I never met
Who you dated as soon as I left
Appalachian autumn
It had been a year since I saw you since we
Ended it had a year to grow into the girl you always wanted
Now we're holding hands as not quite friends but not quite lovers
But we'll just pretend
You say it's complicated to make amends
Well is that the way that we're headed then
And you couldn't answer me
Though you could pull me in while I brushed my teeth
And let your hands both freely speak like I wasn't ever gonna leave
You were all I'd ever known
And now I'm supposed to love you from a distance
Like it's nothing like its instant
And youuuu say let's just see where this goes
And I don't know how or why you seem just fine
Coz I'm having to grasp that you're somehow not mine anymore
It's so cruel how things are only almost like they were before
Ah ah ah Like they were before
Ah ah ah Like they were before
Ah ah ah Like they were before
We walk downtown and it's charming
You're alarmingly disarming
Yeah we've got 48 hours left
Before I fly back to my death
While you stay just fine and feel alive
South of the Mason-Dixon line
Where everyone closes shop at 9
Where you could somehow finally find
