Lyrics From Live Performance
I got homesickness
It's wearing me out, I miss you like hell
Oh, I'm a witness
To the crime of my doubts, trying to work my way out
And I blame myself for thinking love's like summer where I live
It's perfect for a moment, then it turns back into shit
But I loved you, not the way I had to
Not the way you asked to, I'm terrified of pain
And I had it close enough to grab it
Sat and watched it pass until I realized my mistake
Now I know how to fall
Without letting myself break
I changed my ways, Emily
I got motion sickness
From the turn of the Earth and the twist of my words
And I blame myself for thinking love's like summer where I live
It's perfect for a moment, then it turns back into shit
But I loved you, not the way I had to
Not the way you asked to, I'm terrified of pain
But I had it close enough to grab it
Sat and watched it pass 'til I realized my mistake
Well, now I know how to fall
Without letting myself break
I changed my ways, Emily
But I loved you, not the way I had to
Not the way you asked to, I'm terrified of pain
But I had it close enough to grab it
Sat and watched it pass until I realized my mistake
Now I know how to fall
Without letting myself break
I changed my ways, Emily
