lyrics

do you remember the last time
you fell in love
do you remember if it was with me
you can tell me the truth

i wish you didn't worry
are you sleeping enough
i know i'm not there
you know i'm not here
but i wish you didn't worry

do you remember the first time
you saw the stars
i can't remember the last time
i saw the stars
if i'm being honest

i'll trade all my things for a map
while you sleep our hands overlap
the crack in your spine
that showed up when you opened
your heart to the fickle
is one to match mine
but i'll drive until we forget

do you expect me to be alright
after two years
of grinding my teeth
and saying goodnight
i can't just dwell on the last times
we were kicking up dust
or missing a train
ignoring advice

the morning is here and the morning will stay
and i won't have it any other way
until the sun crashes down and the clouds block the stars
and you aren't leaning on my chest any longer

the pressure on my chest is replaced with this pain
and i run from the woods as it starts to rain
but the ranger will stop me anyway
even though i've only knelt down to capture the feeling

i won't ask you for much but i'll ask you for this
i love you enough to remember the kiss
you left on my forehead when i lost someone close
and i wish i could return it to you with that assurance

so i'm sorry for the moon and i'm sorry for the stars
and i'm sorry for the planes and the trains and the cars
that have crossed you or passed you or left you in the dust
but you must know that i never will
