lyrics
Honestly, hate it.
It’s a special occasion
and I couldn’t be there for you.
The more that I say it,
the less I explain it –
I couldn’t see it through.
Leaving Chicago,
I could’ve died there too.
My Colorado,
where did the line draw you?
I didn’t want it to.
A body of navy,
your odyssey’s waiting,
just don’t expect me to choose...
...cus if I’d waited
for a better occasion,
then I could’ve seen it too.
You were a star, but
out there the light fooled you,
I didn’t mind, but
it split like a tide, in two,
it might’ve been nice to
live in the sky with you,
but we are where we are, and
it feels like it’s all too soon.
It’s a special occasion
and I couldn’t be there for you.
The more that I say it,
the less I explain it –
I couldn’t see it through.
Leaving Chicago,
I could’ve died there too.
My Colorado,
where did the line draw you?
I didn’t want it to.
A body of navy,
your odyssey’s waiting,
just don’t expect me to choose...
...cus if I’d waited
for a better occasion,
then I could’ve seen it too.
You were a star, but
out there the light fooled you,
I didn’t mind, but
it split like a tide, in two,
it might’ve been nice to
live in the sky with you,
but we are where we are, and
it feels like it’s all too soon.
