You both feel something, but you’re just not sure
The concept of romance just seems so obscure
So many times you said it just wasn’t real
Just a pumped up word, so absurd, all that space to fill and

Through all those days you spent in those arms of sleep
You felt your heart in the dark, said “It’s you I want to keep”
And they tell you things they don’t tell anyone else
But you still never say anything about yourself…

And every “I like you” is just pressing the bruise
Stay alone, take a chance, you just cannot choose
They said “I don’t wanna wait two weeks to kiss your lips”
And you reply like you’re reading off a script

And they tell you about who has hurt them before
You don’t wanna be another story they recite on the floor
And one of these days you’ll both tell hard truths

Cause you’re never missing someone as much as they’re missing you

We left my house just three hours ago
Got gas, got drinks, now we’re heading to Terre Haute
This drive is lovely, so much is doesn’t seem long
Drumming on our legs, down the road, we sing along

We spent quite a lot of time on your couch
Playing games, getting drunk, and lots of making out
When you started crying you told me all about
Through whiskey tears, no fear, you spilled out all your doubts

And I said “I like you” but don’t know how to feel
I’m too much fiction and you’re far too real
You said you’ve had far too many “If’s”
But I can’t decide if I want to commit

You say I’m perfect but I must disagree
Been used, doped up and drunk more than you can believe
When you call me lovely, I just feel guilty…

Cause I never miss someone as much as they’re missing me
