Winter party Freezing basement Smoking in my car while your friends were getting wasted We'd already started before anybody got there Your boyfriend was in Florida, failing college, painting lawn chairs You were crying when I turned on the dome light Felt like you'd been holding out on me for a long time Saw the way you got us here alone, and the mood's right In just a couple hours, we would kiss for the first time La-da-da Now I see you when I'm waking up So I'm constantly reminded of The only girl I've ever loved I was lying to the other ones Cuz we're god-tier even on our worst nights Even got a diamond ring, and like your eyes it shines bright I can tell you anything, and we don't even have fights Even when I kiss you now, it feels just like the first time La-da-da

Talk to me Wish you would talk to me again Tell me what you want from me But we're silent laying in bed Eyes closed, and you sink into your thoughts They won't go If there's something going on, I hope you'll talk to me Wish you would talk to me Remember 18, love Talking 'til the sun came up They ain't ever seen a love so strong They ain't even know what hit them, no It was something out a movie Something you would dream about Now your lips stay shut and the sides point down If you would open up, you know I'd hear you out But if you don't, I get it You know that I've been down too Talk to me Wish you would talk to me again Tell me what you want from me But we're silent laying in bed Eyes closed, and you sink into your thoughts They won't go If there's something going on, I hope you'll talk to me Wish you would talk to me These days I just sleep alone now Back into my old ways Living in our old house Worthless, drunkenly stepping into the bedroom Photos on the wall; they're crooked like your thoughts You mentioned wanting to frame everything in blue Now I'm searching dimensions because of you Now that I'm thinking about it I see it too Guess the smile you put on wasn't in truth Talk to me Wish you would talk to me again Tell me what you want from me But we're silent laying in bed Eyes closed, and you sink into your thoughts They won't go If there's something going on, I hope you'll talk to me Wish you could talk to me
