I'll just drift asleep
Dreaming of us here together forever
I'm so proud of you for following your dreams
Don't forget about me
Never
I feel washed up again on the shore
Said I wouldn't stray closer to the water
But you keep pushin' me further in
Baby I've never really felt this sure
But it feels I'll wait for you forever
If I hold on it'll hurt even more
I'm standing on my own but is it ok if I hold my chances?
Tell me what's temporary and what stays permanent
Temporary, permanent we keep on shifting surfaces
So who you tryna fool right now?
If you're not stayin' just leave right now!
Can't feel you now, losing my grip now I'm fading out
Couldn't hear my voice even if I shout
Tell me what's next for us baby
You hear it in my voice, can you erase me?
I feel washed up again on the shore
Said I wouldn't stray closer to the water
But you keep pushin' me further in
Baby I've never really felt this sure
But it feels I'll wait for you forever
If I hold on it'll hurt even more
Baby I've been overthinking
See the blood from the thorns on the roses
If I tried could I let you go now
But the memory of you stays permanent
I'm saying that being with you again has been so special
I just wanted to feel like when we were kids, running around Arcadia Bay
And everything was possible
And you made me feel that way today
I want this time with you to be my last memory
