Come & go

I see you around
That ring around your finger says you’re better now
I tried to find the words to say
Without letting regret
Get the best of me

Fell for you
That summer on the east coast
Up till dawn just doin what we want
Standing there
With nothin but my shirt on
Got me tongue tied
Just looking at you

Though many come and go
Well it’s just not the same
Comfort you’ll never know
Baby, you’re not to blame
I shoulda married you
You shoulda carried my name
Feels like I buried youth
Looks like you did the same

It’s been years now
And the last time that we spoke
My head was in the clouds
These letters that I’ll never send
No matter how they start
I always know how they end

Talk to me, girl, what am I supposed to do?
I’m just a little caught up
In overcoming you
Memories in the night that I can’t shake
Polaroids in my bed
Reflecting better days

Fell for you
That summer on the east coast
Up till dawn just doin what we want
Up all night
Just talking bout our future
And if we run
We’ll have each other’s back

Though many come and go
Well it’s just not the same
Comfort you’ll never know
Baby, you’re not to blame
I shoulda let you know
Though you drive me insane
Made me a better man
Words I’ll take to my grave

I remember the way you said my name
And how your hands started to shake
Your face was melting in the rain, whoa oh
Leaning up the hood against my car
Speaking softly in the night
Under barely visible stars
Under barely visible stars

Stuck on you
That summer on the east coast
Up till dawn
Thinking I was wrong

Why can’t I erase you?
I tried to replace you
But I’m hearing her in every song

Though many come and go
Well it’s just not the same
Comfort you’ll never know
Baby, you’re not to blame
Shoulda ran after you
Chasing your car through the rain
The tears that clouded your eyes
Now I’m just screaming at your grave

You should’ve carried my name
You could’ve carried my name
