We made a pact to separate ourselves from the pack

I watched you try but baby let me try for a while

We met at dawn and tried to keep our Sunday clothes on
E
Up in your room I always come a little too soon
A
To tell the truth, you know the truth
A E
I know the truth when you came back through you

You're the culmination of everything I've never had

But it's so hard to love you, it's like we never get the chance, aah aah

But under rocks there's always something better to do
