[Verse 1]
Your hoodie on my chair
Cap and gown on your door
You’re packing up your side
I’m tracing hearts on the floor
We circle all the dates
On a wrinkled school-year map
You say
“It’s just a couple hours”
But it feels like half
[Pre-Chorus]
Everyone’s cheering for “moving on”
I’m still cheering for “stay”
You’re already halfway gone
I’m still stuck in yesterday
[Chorus]
Are we almost out of time
Or just about to start
You’re crossing all these state lines
I’m crossing fingers round my heart
If distance draws a wall
We’ll write our names across the sky
‘Cause you and I are meant to fall
And meant to fight
(we’ll be alright)
Even when you say goodbye tonight
[Verse 2]
You kiss me in your car
Keys shaking in your hand
We talk like grown-up strangers
Making grown-up plans
You promise me a room
With a view and my own drawer
I laugh and say
“Just call me”
But I’m wanting more
[Pre-Chorus]
Your parents say
“This is your shot”
My friends say
“You’ll be fine”
But they don’t feel this ticking clock
In every second of your last summertime
[Chorus]
Are we almost out of time
Or just about to start
You’re crossing all these state lines
I’m crossing fingers round my heart
If distance draws a wall
We’ll write our names across the sky
‘Cause you and I are meant to fall
And meant to fight
(we’ll be alright)
Even when you say goodbye tonight
[Bridge]
Call me when you can’t sleep
I’ll be there
I’ll be there
Save a seat in every dream
I’ll meet you there
I’ll meet you there
If the miles try to make you forget
I’ll be the song in your head
[Chorus]
Are we almost out of time
Or just about to start
You’re crossing all these state lines
I’m crossing fingers round my heart
If distance draws a wall
We’ll write our names across the sky
‘Cause you and I are meant to fall
And meant to fight
(hold me tight)
Even when you say goodbye tonight
You and I are meant to be
This isn’t the end of you and me
