I cannot get over this song. The first time I heard it, I had chills and wanted to cry. The rawness, the intimacy, and the tragedy intermix beautifully with her voice. It’s also gender neutral–we don’t know who she’s singing about but we’ve all been there.
If I’m being honest when you look at me it’s like kissing a million angels
and every tattoo’s so intoxicating from your neck and right down to your ankles
Fifteen and sixteen I had to be strong, twenty-two i’m still scared of it all
cuz i know some day i could wake up and you’ll be gone…and i’ll just be
Lonely, missing, holding your hand when we’re half asleep
Lonely, wishing…we’d never kissed in your backseat and that’s what scares me the most
knowing that you could just let me go
and i’ll just be… Lonely, missing, holding your hand when we’re half asleep.
getting kinda tired of turning pages
i hope you’re not the type to pull the same shit
cuz you could be like everyone i’ve dated
they don’t love me they just wanna see me naked
Fifteen and sixteen I had to be strong, twenty-two i’m still scared of it all
cuz i know some day i could wake up and you’ll be gone…and i’ll just be
Lonely, missing, holding your hand when we’re half asleep
Lonely, wishing…we’d never kissed in your backseat and that’s what scares me the most
knowing that you could just let me go
and i’ll just be… Lonely, missing, holding your hand when we’re half asleep.
