verse

It’s been a long time since the first night

what were we? Maybe sixteen

you were playing Alt-J from your backpack

skater boy, memorized your voice

chorus

and I told you I wouldn’t fall

but now I’m picking up the pieces

got into my car, drove too fast for comfort

said I’d be okay, if you loved her more and then you walked away

oh god, guess I’m a liar.

verse

We were painting sunsets on the highway

denim jeans, making fun of the democracy

and oh what’s more to life? what more could I want?

than these seconds of vagabounds

chorus

and I told you I wouldn’t fall

but now I’m picking up the pieces

got into my car, drove too fast for comfort

said I’d be okay, if you loved her more and then you walked away

oh god, guess I’m a liar.

Said I’d be okay if you kissed her slow in the moonlit rays

oh god, I guess I’m a liar

I’m really good at lying.
