The first time we met it felt like fireworks The perks of the Midwest now've suddenly changed The whole world passes by on a string I am tied You're holding the can on the opposite side Now lets open the door Take a breath of fresh air That summer was kind to us both Now its time to be strong You came to me opened your heart as we said hello A year has passed and now you're gone, I begged you not to go You said to me there's nothing here for me to hold on to So darling let me be the one that holds on to you No matter how many times I say you're beautiful You'll act as if I'm telling a lie All the phone calls we've made left us frail its a shame Like two papers hearts riding on a paper train Red-eye flights, summer drives, shooting stars in the sky Is it enough to suffice, if you can't even trust me? You came to me opened your heart as we said hello A year has passed and now you're gone, I begged you not to go You said to me there's nothing here for me to hold on to So darling let me be the one that holds on to you Where has our love gone now that we're apart Is it lying dormant or is it just hiding in the darkest depths of our hearts There is nothing that I need to prove I've done, all that I can, to get through to you
