lyrics

I grew up on the back roads, the countryside
There were no kids quite like me, I had no clue why
And I would never really mourn correctly, so my dad stepped in
He drove me up to take guitar lessons, and then you were there
I had a little thing for you at recess but that bloomed so fast
When you asked to come over after for extra practice
We had our first kiss closely in the street lamp’s light
On the hill next to your house where we spent the night

I remember singing in your bedroom to your favorite songs
You taught me chords and courtship and your famous pizza toasts
Yeah, we were so young, where could you be?
I had to look you up
We lost touch, grew apart
I hope you’re livin’ it up, livin’ it up
Live a little

On the mainland, our sophomore year
A cute girl, back of the class with bangs and headphones on her ears
Took a dare to strike up conversation, your laptop screen lit up
“Strawberry Avalanche”? You also like Adam Young?

I remember dancing in your bedroom ‘till your curtains fell
You had me open up emotions that I rarely tell
Yeah, we were so young, where could you be?
I had to look you up
You’re a mom, ‘course you are
You keep on livin’ it up, livin’ it up
Carry on

It got harder to breathe, hard to love
You were harder to keep, I was hard on us
Little heart-to-hearts had to halt having love
It got harder on me, I am hard to love

I remember us inside my bedroom for what felt like weeks
And we had just met and made a nest that made our young hearts bleed
Yeah, we were so dumb, where could you be?
I had to look you up
You’re still on, just stay strong
Just keep on livin’ it up, livin’ it up
Never stop
I remember dying in your spare room, we were on time-out
But now that I know what really happened I’m glad time ran out
Yeah, we were so wrong, where could you be?
I never looked you up
Sometimes gone is just gone
Guess I’m just livin’ it up, livin’ it up
Live a little
