lyrics

I walked across to see you
Acting casual 'cause I think I mean nothing to you
Put down my feet, picked up my bags
Those summer daydreams seem to drag and drag and drag
Thought my hopes were too high
In fact my heart was too low
But I said my goodbyes
Thought I'd never see you again, I didn't know

I put my knife to an arbutus
See now I'm trying to make us do this
Added curves and lines for yours and mine
I'm trying to make, I'm trying to make it all add up
Now you're down from another town
The leaves are falling but I'm trying not to rush at all
Call me yellow if you want until you're red in the face
Every other time it's me who's too fast to fall
Truth be told I've been lying on the ground since we met
Now are you weak in the knees?
Are you feeling it yet?
Can't tell what you want cause what you want is to know
What you want when you feel that you need to let go

I wrote for you a letter
On a bottle of Nyquil to make you feel better
I said maybe you're trying too hard
You said well maybe you just shoudn't try at all
Well baby don't be scared every castle's gonna burn
But maybe it'll make you feel the heat that you yearn for
Three words everbody wants to hear when they're done
Two years I've been searching trying to find the last one
