about

This song is a heavy hitter. It's an intimate account of a finished relationship that meant a lot and will never be forgotten. A period of growth, intimacy, companionship and a story that will last a life time.

lyrics

You say that there’s no way / that you would wanna stay
with me when we don’t quite feel the same
and it’s ok to have your expectations your wants and desires
to invest in a love that never expires
But I see it differently / there’s no way it has to be
I just loved your company that was just enough for me
We both made sacrifices, became eachother’s vices
And as the warmness ices, the feelings didn’t freeze

Every time we tried to be friends we were fooling ourselves
Then I learned we can’t be just friends / I felt sparks when we held hands
Our connection – it’s so strong – it’s what carried us along
Thru the times when things got hard / differences drew us apart
We’re on different paths for now

The beginning was pure bliss / I never thought I’d feel like this
When I look back on those days, I still get shivers from our first kiss
Skating dates on the canal, Sunday morning F&S breakfast
Getting baked and watching Netflix and splitting cheese pizzas in the fort
Then things got serious and I made you a promise
Our feelings grew, we fell in love and I thought I could handle this
Pointless fights broke me down and as the sweetness soured
I acted like a coward / I just couldn’t break your heart

Every time we tried to be friends we were fooling ourselves
Then I learned we can’t be just friends / I felt sparks when we held hands
Our connection was so strong – it’s what carried us along
Thru the times when things got hard and differences drew us apart
We’re on different paths for now

We had a rocky start and you fought like a wolf for the key to my heart
and you fought like a wolf for the key to my heart
