about

lyrics

One minute and twenty seconds.
Two years gone and all that’s left is-
This old recording of you strumming aint enough for me, no.
Ain’t enough to stop the missing and the wondering where time goes.

You always loved this descending bass-line.
Two years gone it’s still haunting me, I cry:
“Where you’ve been, who’ve you loved since we fell apart and,
Do you hold onto her like you held onto me back then?”

I think everyone has something worth believing in.
And I think you are mine- to miss, to waste the weekends wondering,
If anyone can ever learn to love me like you did.
I don’t think so. I don’t think so.
I don’t think so.

One minute and twenty seconds.
Of your guitar and your shallow breaths in.
And I know we were young and years alter our hearts anew.
But could it be that you’re out there singing songs about me too?

You always loved this descending bass-line.
Said the notes came out better than any words you tried to rhyme.
Curly hair and green eyes, you caught me in summer-
Came and went but I still loved you in September.

Chorus x2

And I’ll be thinking of you on my wedding day.
And I’ll keep loving you like it was yesterday.
And I’ll be breaking hearts to find one that feels like yours.
I’ll keep missing you until I can’t miss you anymore.
