  • (Alright)

    We used to jump the fence, now we both think twice
    We used to make up games, now we just make nice
    Lately, I just can't tell you what I would give
    Just to see you
    I know that I've been distant and damn near dust
    I know a place exists that was made for us
    I'm standing in the hallway nervous, just to see you

    Pull up at my place, knock on my door
    I'll say, "I'm sorry," you'll say, "What for?"
    For letting this happen, for letting you go
    You're all that I had
    And now it's starting to show

    I wanna say so much, get to you so bad
    I wanna claw my way back to what we had
    I'll swallow all the pride I paraded just to see you

    Pull up at my place, knock on my door
    I'll say, "I'm sorry," you'll say, "What for?"
    For letting this happen, for letting you go
    You're all that I had and now it's starting to show
    But I'm still in the hallway, praying for time
    For an easy distraction, to drown out my mind
    Oh, I let this happen, I let you go
    You're all that I had
    And now it's starting to show

    I can't see what's coming
    Ahead in the night
    But I'm willing to risk it
    I'm willing to fight
    For every mistake
    I'll give you my hand
    Just promise to hold it
    Wherever we land
    I can't see what's coming
    Ahead in the night
    But I'm willing to risk it

    If you pull up at my place, knock on my door
    I'll say, "I'm sorry," you'll say, "What for?"
    For letting this happen, for letting you go
    You're all that I had and now it's starting to show
    I'm still in the hallway, praying for time
    For an easy distraction, to drown out my mind
    Oh, I let this happen, I let you go
    You're all that I had
    And now it's starting to show

    Oh-oh
    Oh-oh
    Oh-oh
    And now it's starting to show
    Oh-oh
    Oh-oh
    Oh-oh
    And now it's starting to show Writer/s: Ariel Rechtshaid, Brandon Flowers, James Bay, Tommy King
