lyrics

it’s getting late
we’d better go
you can share my sleeve
put your arm in my coat

we walked past your house
so we could talk
don’t me make laugh so loud
you’ll wake up the dog

it’s like the love you felt in high school
the weight on your chest
it isn’t real until it hurts you
just like the songs always said

the water’s filled with slime
littered with tires
i dare you to swim
i’m not going in

someone knocked the wasp nest out of the tree
i tried to call for help but i could hardly breath
its just the same as love
it hurt just the same as love
i can’t hear you
please wake up
please wake up
i can’t leave you here

it’s like the pain you felt in high school
the weight on you chest
it isn’t love until it hurts you
just like the songs always said

it’s like the pain you felt in high school
the weight on your chest
it isn’t love until it hurts you
just like the songs always said
