I wanna be that person again
The one I am right now, again
For the rest of my life, again
I wanna lay down in the leaf pile, but I can't
I wanna be that person again
The one I am right now, again
For the rest of my life, again
I wanna lay down in the leaf pile
But I can't slow down
Or I'm gonna crash, crash, crash, crash, crash, woah
Woah
I wanna feel that same sense of calm
I wanna feel that same sense of peace
It felt so real before you got here
It'll be restored after you leave
I wanna be that person again
I wanna be that person again
I wanna know how it all ends
I wanna lay down
But I can't slow down
Or I'm gonna crash, crash, crash, crash, crash, woah
Oh man
Nothing ever kicked in or as hard as you did
I feel anxious, do you?
Like I have to make a move
I'm just gonna do what you did
I cut some ties with a few good friends
For it to be over how ready I am
I close my eyes, I open my eyes
But my mouth was closed the entire time
Montgomery forever
First you get hurt, and then there's healing
It's a process, believe me
You stole my notebooks and now you're reading
I can't wait to hear you say
That I got back a couple weeks ago
To our friends and family
I can't wait to hear you say
That I got back a couple weeks ago
And it was all to see
Who could ride a motorcycle faster
As for me, I still believe
As for me, I still believe
Do I seem anxious to you?
Do I seem backed into a corner?
As if I had to make a move
But you could tell I didn't wanna
Do I seem anxious to you? (I can't remember, it's all a blur)
Do I seem backed into a corner? (The person you are and the person you were)
As if I had to tell the truth (I can't remember, it's all a blur)
But you could tell I didn't wanna (The person you are and the person you were)
I don't wanna talk
I don't wanna talk, I wanna look out the window
I don't wanna talk
I don't wanna talk, I wanna look out the window
