[intro]

Random noises

Laughing

Said she from Tampa, Florida

She’s out here dancing for us

Tonight we danced, tore it up

Yeah, we ran it like Forrest

Oh… on the flight home

Thoughts of her flew right home

Heart stayed where she was at

Even when I’m gone


[Verse 1]

They tryna tell me calm down, I won’t listen

They don’t get it, we had something different

We was kissing like the world was ending

Now they talking, but I’m not offended

Another day, I’m like I gotta go see her

Let ‘em hope they can keep her

But I’m always in her speakers

Yeah, I’m closer than they think


[Chorus: brash]

Our love is short term

And I adore her

But now I’m sober

Because I’m scared, uh

Our love is short term

And I adore her

But now I’m sober

Because I’m scared, uh


[Verse 2]

I hope and pray if she meets another guy

He don’t ever feed her lies

Hope he treats her better, right

But I know that’s not my life

Hope he listens when she talks late night

Holds her close when she don’t feel right

Just so she can run it back to me

Even if it’s just in memories

Brown hair, brown eyes in my head

Every word, every night we said

Tryna process what we had

Something good that went too fast


[Chorus: brash]

Our love is short term

And I adore her

But now I’m sober

Because I’m scared, uh

Our love is short term

And I adore her

But now I’m sober

Because I’m scared, uh


[Bridge]

Here’s the thing with distance

I don’t think it’s working out

I might never see you again

And if I do, you got someone now

Wish I made different choices

Filled the silence, not the voids, yeah

Kissed you like it was forever

Not something we’d destroy, yeah

Like La La Land, I hate endings

All these plans just never landin’

Tryna move on but I’m stuck

Drunk on us and what we had


[Outro]

Our love was short term…

But I adored her…

Now I’m just sober…

‘Cause I’m scared of her…
