[Verse 1]

I just wanna know

How it's supposed to go

When everything falls apart

You've nothing left to show

But the aching in your gut

Bottle shards and broken bones

You burn up your childhood clothes

Does it make you feel alone?

I saw you there

Melting in the summer heat

Your bones so bare

I could see past everything

You say to me

You say to me

Your friends seem nice

Fucked up in the best way

Every single time

It's so hard just to say

Could you stay a while?

Can you stay a while?

I'll see you on weekends

I promise that I'll try again

When the fall rolls around

Autumn leaves on the ground

Outside your apartment

On the sidewalk to my house

I heard that joke that you told

Never could figure it out

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

And I watched you grow up in a beach town

We were just kids then

Desperate to be found

Our adolescence we gripped so tightly

To the root of our chests

No, we can't ever forget it

In empty buildings

I saw light pouring through

The holes in the roof

Enveloping you

I couldn't see you

In the pale light

I couldn't see you

In the pale light

[Chorus]

There's still footprints on my shoulders

From you standing up so tall

When you saw the whole world up there

Did it make you wanna fall?

There's still footprints on my shoulders

From you standing up so tall

When you saw the whole world up there

Did it make you wanna fall?
