Could we take this life a little slower than we used to Than we used to Are my eyes More like story tellers of what's past Are my eyes The triggers of a story that won't last Feels in the path of a past storm Emotions of the past got me transformed You're back in the game but summer is over Warn me when the water is getting warmer Could we take this life a little slower than we used to Than we used to Please don't open This old folder Files unspoken So much colder Chills in my back give me fevers Those pictures of the past, is it over? Placed me in a frame, summer is colder Warn me when your skin is getting warmer Can we live this life a little closer like we used to Than we used to Can you open This new folder Files unwritten Let me write them

Thoughts drift away and I'm with you Walking through my dreams feels like bad behavior I don't know what else to do You lean into me and say we're automated The sky fades from gray to shades of blue Pictures on TV becoming human nature Stars rest upon this harvest moon The universe around is automated Now you walk into the room You slip off your dress, it's not complicated And I lie in your perfume We're touching ourselves because it's automated Thoughts drift away and I'm with you A walk thru my dreams feels like bad behavior I don't know what else to do You lean into me and say we're automated

I wish I had another five more minutes I wish I had the words to say I know it probably would've made no difference But I would've begged for you to stay Midnight comes and I go looking for you My mind runs through all the photographs One by one, another year without ya I'm here without ya I'm blowing out the candles, talking to the stars Don't know how to handle not knowing where you are Feel like something's missing, missing, yeah Using all my wishes, wishes, yeah Still tryna turn the time back, letting go is hard And blowing on an eyelash doesn't change your heart Feel like something's missing, missing, yeah Using all my wishes, wishes, yeah Still wishin' you were here I hate the way you make me feel this hollow Even though it's not your fault Losin' you is a pill I still can't swallow So, I still wait for you to call Midnight comes and I go looking for you My mind runs through all the photographs One by one, another year without ya I'm here without ya I'm blowing out the candles, talking to the stars Don't know how to handle not knowing where you are Feel like something's missing, missing, yeah Using all my wishes, wishes, yeah Still tryna turn the time back, letting go is hard And blowing on an eyelash doesn't change your heart Feel like something's missing, missing, yeah Using all my wishes, wishes, yeah Still wishin' you were here What I wouldn't give to go back again Nobody told me it would be this hard What I wouldn't do to hold onto you Nobody told me I'm blowing out the candles, talking to the stars Don't know how to handle not knowing where you are Feels like something's missing, missing, yeah Using all my wishes, wishes, yeah Still wishin' you were here
