I waited for you at the front door
You knocked at the back
I joked that you'd been here before
You said no and you smiled
And said you hope it's the last
This was only supposed to be once
No one gets hurt when the strings are all cut
Your candlelit face in the dark was something of a drug
Heard the wicks whisper "what have you done"
Overthinking all this now
For letting you walk away without
Reminding you everything good doesn't have to get lost
There'd be hours between us
But worlds if we're just
Gonna leave it at
"Maybe when school starts back up"
You know well enough it won't ever work out
How you want it to
Your twin brother's transferring here in the fall
I can tell that you're close
You don't really say much, 'til I ask about him
And off your tongue goes
My hands and your lips were not far behind
Now you're safe behind glass that belongs to that night
And I'll keep getting old, but you're frozen in time
In the vault of my mind
I'm still overthinking all this now
For letting you walk away without
Reminding you everything good doesn't have to get lost
There'd be hours between us, but worlds if we're just
Going to leave it at
"Maybe when school starts back up"
You know well enough it won't ever work out
I'm in my head breaking all this down
There's no easy step-by-step on how
To catch every piece before the glass even drops
To lose one-sided feelings
Well, maybe that's love
The impossible dealing with day dreams 'til you've had enough
Then you're months too late to start wondering what
What was the laughing at asking if this is alright
Or the half-awake hours with stars in our eyes
By the end of the night I thought midas was mine
But forgot we exist only on borrowed time
It's past
4am finally driving you home
After dodging the neighbors who won't ever know
'Bout the Parking Lot Bandits
Our schemes on the road
Are forever a story untold
Cuz you look like a fiction
But god it's so real
You turned me to gold and your mouth seals the deal
When I said goodbye I just stared at the wheel
If I'm Achilles you're an arrow to the heel
If it ever was, now I know it's not quite how you feel
And it's fine
We'll be good friends in the meantime
Parking lot bandits
Fuck you
