Save a little judgment a while more
I wasn't that kind of person years ago
I held it in my hand a while, let it go
I wasn't that kind of person years ago
You were beautiful and fourteen
You were mean
Led Zeppelin on your t-shirt, boots and jeans
Dismissed my love so proudly
Bummed a smoke
Tagged your name behind the school and threw your clip into the snow
Save a little judgment a while more
I wasn't that kind of person years ago
You beckon me to come in
Invite me from the cold
I wasn't that kind of person years ago
You play, you play, you play, you play
You play, you play, you play, you play...
You played the game like everyone then
A fake punk
Nonchalant like the complicity would vanish on your tongue
But it shows up in your movements
In your speech
You can tour around the country but they'll know in every city
Save a little judgment, a while more
I wasn't that kind of person years ago
Deliver it in silence, clear and slow
That you weren't this kind of person years ago
You sign off like a contract, like a nurse
Something there receding, something nervous in your voice
I know what comes between us but I don't know how to solve
What layers upon layers of our history has brought
Save a little judgment a while more
I wasn't that kind of person years ago
I held it in my hand a while, let it go
I wasn't that kind of person years ago
