La Dispute - Andria lyrics

You still cross my mind from time to time
And I mostly smile
Still so set on finding out where
We went wrong and why
So I retrace our every step
With an unsure pen
Trying to figure out what my head thinks
But my head just ain't what it used to be
Then again, what's the point anyway?

I remember you ascending all the
Stairs up to the balcony
To see if you could see
Me hidden quietly away
I remember the skin of your fingers
The spot three quarters up
I'd always touch when
I was out of things to say you held my hand
But you were too afraid to speak
You were too afraid to speak
And I could never understand
I remember when you leaned in
Quick to kiss me
And I swear not a single force on earth
Could stop the trembling of my hand

I remember how you smiled through the smoke
In a crowded little coffeehouse and
Laughed at all my jokes
And I remember the way that you dressed
While we wasted all the best of
Us in alcohol and sweat
And I remember when I knew
That you'd be leaving
How I barely kept up breathing and I bet
If I could to do it all again
I'd feel the same pain
I remember panicked circles in
The terminal in tears
How I wept to god in fit's
I've hated airports ever since

It must be true what people say
That only time can heal the pain
And every single day I feel it fade away, but

I still remember how the distance tricked us
And lead us helpless by the wrist
Into a pit to be devoured
I still remember how we held
So strong to this
Though we had never really settled
On a way out i still remember the silence
And how we'd always find a way to
Turn and run to our mistakes
I still remember how it
All came back together
Just to fall apart again

My dear i hear your voice in mine
I've been alone here i've been alone here
I've been afraid, my dear
I've been afraid, my dear
I've been at home here
I've been at home here
You've been away for years
You've been away for years i've been alone
I've been alone i've been alone
I've been alone

I breathed your name into the air
I etched your name into me
I felt my anger swelling
I swam into it's sea
I held your name inside my heart but
It got buried in my fear
It tore the wiring of my brain
I did my best to keep it clear so dear
No matter how we part I hold
You sweetly in my head
And if I do not miss a part of you
A part of me is dead
If I can't love you as a lover
I will love you as a friend
And I will lay a bed before you
Keep you safe until the end
