Skater shoes and faded Levis

A mixtape of your favorite b-sides

That polaroid of us still lives beside my bed

I know I can't avoid it but I try my best

I wanted to be you back in '05

But it gets hard when you're so little and you're lost

And you're left picking up the pieces

Of a world that kind of stopped

So why the hell did you leave so fast?

'Cause shooting stars are never meant to crash

Were you in pain and I just couldn't see?

Thought it'd all make sense when I was 23

That you'd be therе when I need you most

Despite a million milеs, would we still be close?

Would you fall in love, make her your wife?

Would you have a kid?

Would they have your eyes?

I guess we'll never know

I guess we'll never know

The time it passed and I fucking let it

'Cause it still hurts when I don't forget it

The numbers on my chest I put my blood in ink

When I talk about the best I wish it didn't sting

The hardest part is just accepting

That this shits hard

'Cause I'm good and then I'm not

Looking for reasons in the pieces of the you that I've still got

So why the hell did you leave so fast?

'Cause shooting stars are never meant to crash

Were you in pain and I just couldn't see?

Thought it'd all make sense when I was 23

That you'd be there when I need you most

Despite a million miles, would we still be close?

Would you fall in love, make her your wife?

Would you have a kid?

Would they have your eyes?

I guess we'll never know

I guess we'll never know
