Here's to Us Again

The silences feel weird to my ears
On midnight phone calls so dear
We fall asleep with each others breath in our ears
To tired to say goodbye
I told you long distance never works
But you begged me “Let’s try”
What’s the worst that could happen
To two tired teens too afraid to say goodnight
Our worlds are different now
But the missing feels the same
To an aching heart too afraid to take the blame
Feelings are confusing

I never believed in high school love
Letters that end with “It’s too much”
I know your asleep now
But I don’t dare hang up
Too afraid to wake up
The morning might bring this just a dream
But I’ll savor it until all the colors
Fade from the page

You’ll never know how much
These nights mean to us
Cartoons in the background
And emo music fills my head
At this rate I’ll never get to bed
But I like to think you’re worth it
The blood, and sweat, and grief
My heart ache will never make up
For sleepy morning and midday naps

The Sun rises on a new day
And we’re new again
Don’t treat me like a yo-yo
Remember you promised not
To break my heart again
I’m trusting you this one last time
Don’t break my faith in all mankind
Promise me all these feelings are real
And this time we’ll tell each other
How we feel
