Lyrics
Been Here Before
We’ve been here before,
Years ago, when I moved to this town.
You gazed at me like a stranger, full of wonder,
Like you did last night.
Your skin looks foreign,
But I imagine it would feel like an old map,
The routes no longer memorized,
Familiar enough to navigate again.
Don’t keep me with you.
I’ll be here, I’ll be fine.
Don’t keep me with you.
Let me live in the world you left behind.
I knew you had to go,
Why couldn’t you take me with you?
You could have loved me for a season till the leaves fell
And we’d call it beautiful.
We may crumble in autumn,
But that’s where it all began.
Would you give up having summertime
So it never had to end?
Don’t keep me with you.
I’ll be here, I’ll be fine.
Don’t keep me with you.
Let me live in the world you left behind.
We’ve been here before.
Alone Tonight
They say I’ll be good for you,
But they don’t know why I’m here.
I’m so tired of being lonely
And you’ve nowhere to disappear.
So I’ll make up some secrets
To tell you in the dark.
It’ll feel like authenticity,
We’ll let emotion play its part.
I don’t want to be alone tonight.
You can be my mistake if you don’t mind.
We’ve all gotta fuck it up a time or two,
I think tonight’s as good as any. Baby, don’t you?
If you kiss me in the morning
That’d probably be alright.
You don’t have to say you love me,
But I’ll let you stay another night.
Do you think I’m pretty?
Or do you just hate an empty bed?
I promise I won’t hold you
To anything you said.
I don’t want to be alone tonight.
You can be my mistake if you don’t mind.
We’ve all gotta fuck it up a time or two,
I think tonight’s as good as any. Baby, don’t you?
Give me one more night
Before I have to get it right.
Conversation’s wearing thin,
But that’s how it’s always been.
I don’t want to be alone tonight.
You can be my mistake if you don’t mind.
We’ve all gotta fuck it up a time or two,
I think tonight’s as good as any. Baby, don’t you?
