21 days can be a long time
I thought the worst of it was over
Thought I was doing fine
So when my friends called, I didn't stop to think
I grabbed my coat, I grabbed my keys
I said it's just a drink, but I was wrong
Here I am and there you are
I'm a second seemed to stretch
And in this breath that I can't catch
I lose my heart as you lean in
Just like that, you set me back where I begin
Starting over, getting over you, again
I haven't called you, I haven't even wanted to
And when I heard that you went out, I never asked with whom
It's like you always know, you see right through me
And when I'm done with you, you find me and undo me every time
Here I am and there you are
I'm a second seemed to stretch
And in this breath that I can't catch
I lose my heart as you lean in
Just like that, you set me back where I begin
Starting over, getting over you
Oh, let me love you or let me go
How I can do this I don't know
Just when I think I'm really through
And when I think I'm over you
Here I am and there you are
I'm a second seemed to stretch
And in this breath that I can't catch
I lose my heart as you lean in
Just like that, you set me back where I begin
Starting over, getting over you, again
I never be over, getting over you, again, again
