[Verse 1]
I'm terrified to spend my life
Chasing that same goddamn high
I felt when I had wasted time with you
And maybe I do magnify
The hopefulness pent up inside
I know that there are better things to do
[Pre-Chorus]
Than to pine about the guy you were
To dream about that old future
I'd held so closely to my heart before
[Chorus]
'Cause I know we would've crashed and burned and drained out all the joy
You would've hated doing distance, I would've compromisеd my voice
I would've had to justify you to my mom 'til I realizеd
That it ain't worth it if I valued independence more than trying
So, I wish you well
I guess we saved ourselves
[Verse 2]
I'm terrified to lose my mind
Seeking, pacing, wondering why
I'd held off every wandering eye for you
And maybe I'm not dignified
Enough to set aside my pride
I know that I was way too kind, I do
[Pre-Chorus]
But the thought of it does linger still
If you had packed bags for Nashville
Uprooted your whole life against your will
[Chorus]
'Cause I know we would've crashed and burned and drained out all the joy
You would've hated doing distance, I would've compromised my voice
I would've had to justify you to my mom 'til I realized
That it ain't worth it if I valued independence more than trying
So, I wish you well
I guess we saved ourselves
