The First Degree

I walk like you nowadays just keep you close to me somehow
I talk like you nowadays just to believe this memory somehow

And now a girl sits at home with a mixtape
And now a boy out there has a postcard in his room
But it’s somewhere hidden
And she doesn’t listen
Because it’s too soon

I will stop my crusade just to really be 13 somehow
And now it’s all okay, just don’t leave these memories right now

And now my girl sits at home with a mixtape
And I’m stuck upstairs with a postcard in my room
But it’s somewhere hidden
And she doesn’t listen
Because it’s too soon

And I don’t wanna hear the words they make you sing
I don’t wanna hear a song you wrote for me
It meant more when you said it on the phone for sure
I don’t want to have a new reality
Cuz if you play a certain song, she’ll think of him
And everything that went wrong and cling to him
I’ve gotten girls that are never as strong as they pretend to be

And now you’re home all alone with your mixtape
And now I’m still upstairs with a postcard in my room
But it’s somewhere hidden
And she doesn’t listen
Because it’s too soon

I walk like you nowadays
I talk like you nowadays
I walk like you nowadays
I talk like you just to keep you close to me somehow
Just to keep you close to me somehow
