[Verse 1]

Drove to your house in the hills, where I wanted to be

The lights were all on and I knew you were waiting for me

And that road became familiar

Like the mystery shape of your heart


[Chorus]

And I know you love me in your way

I'm looking forward to looking back on these days

And I'm fine, but I'm not okay

I'm looking forward to looking back on these days


[Verse 2]

The fog in the morning that clouded the world that we knew

It was almost enough being lonely and living for you

And the rain came to our window

And I wish I could've stayed


[Chorus]

And I know you love me in your way (You love me in your way)

I'm looking forward to looking back on these days

And I'm fine, but I'm not okay (I'm fine, but I'm not okay)

I'm looking forward to looking back on these days


[Bridge]

Let it go

Let it go, sunshine

Now you know

Now you know it's time

It's time


[Verse 3]

You were asleep while I gathered my things in the dark

The burns on my fingers were all that was left of the spark

I didn't wanna wake you

'Cause I knew I couldn't say


[Chorus]

That I know you love me in your way (You love me in your way)

I'm looking forward to looking back on these days

And I'm fine, but I'm not okay (I'm fine, but I'm not okay)

I'm looking forward to looking back on these days

I'm looking forward to looking back on these days
