Trading Twilight - Here and Now Lyrics

And you said: 'hey
I'm sorry I wasn't around
I know I should've gotten back
I hope you're doing okay'
That you'd been
Laying out on your back porch
On your swing feeling dazed
Despite us
Having supposed to meet up that day
You asked what I was thinking of
As we laid on the living room floor
Our hands up to the ceiling
Reaching out for something more
You told me that sunsets made you sad
That you thought the moment was too fleeting
I know it's been months and I should just forget
At least until I see you next week
But I have all of these memories of your face lit by
The candle light in your room at your parent's house
Scenes of us stopping to check out the honeysuckle plants
As you told me it was rare you'd get to feel this way
Despite being scared of what your parents would say
When you got home late
And it's every time I see you
(Every time I)
It's every time I pass by where you used to live
(Every time)
It's every time I try to leave you behind
Here and now
And you said: 'hey
I heard you went to
Annie's party last week
I'm glad to hear you're doing better'
And I thought: 'that's f*cked'
You don't know the half of it, babe
But none of that mattered
Neither of us were there
To talk about the here and now
So we talked about the past
Our car rides together
How your mom would always get upset
When I'd take you home
But we had to stay until the last minute
And always take the long way
And I knew I shouldn't
But I still said "I love you" when we left
And you stared on with sad eyes as time stood still
The way the sun hit you, you looked like an angel in your chair
Glowing blonde hair, the scars on your wrist long healed
Meanwhile I sat in the shadows
A smile covering the hole in my chest
And it's every time I see you
(Every time I)
It's every time I pass by where you used to live
(Every time)
It's every time I try to leave you behind
Here and now
(No, no)
And it's every time I see you
And I know
That it's not going to work out anymore
Cause I've tried
To come to peace with everything
That happened between you and I
(Every time)
And now I see that
Now that I've reached out
We're better off on our own
