IVYLEAGUE - Souvenir (feat. Carly Winter) Lyrics

Keep my head below your standards
Look down, avoid your eyes
I thought I'd have someone to talk with
At fault for getting my hopes high
Would you think that I'm surrounded
Pretend to shuffle through the crowd
Smiled for how I thought it sounded
Now I can't help but hate the sound
Put on the songs we'd play
When you wanted me here
You brought back some half-assed souvenir, thinking I'd be home
Bow down to my level
Show up to my show tonight
At least act like you're going
At least ask what time
I'm glad you stopped finding problems
Or saying what they are
You were a child prodigy
I never said you'd be a star
I saw your footprints all around
You know mud can't keep secrets like sand can
It's not yours just 'cuz it's something you found and then you laugh at what you don't understand
And we were great on paper
Soon to fold, rip, and tear
We're just kids thrown together and called the perfect pair
Put on the songs we'd play
When you wanted me here
You brought back some half-assed souvenir
Thinking I'd be home
Put on the songs we'd play
When you wanted me here
You brought back some half-assed souvenir
Thinking I'd be home
I'm losing sight of you
Attend some party school
When we swore we'd get on the road
Have you joked enough
I only feel judged
By someone I no longer know
I cannot justify
What you do to get by
And I don't mind it now
You will forever lie
Inside of my own life
I can't listen when you shout
Put on the songs we'd play
When you wanted me here
You brought back some half-assed souvenir
Thinking I'd be home
Put on the songs we'd play
When you wanted me here
You brought back some half-assed souvenir
Thinking I'd be home
Just one more day and I'll leave it alone
Just one more night and I'll keep it
Bring back some thoughtful souvenir
Starting tomorrow I'll be home
