[Verse 1:]
You said "promise me you'll find someone new
To hold and touch you."
I don't want anyone but you
You're giving me an impossible baseline
I know it's gonna take time
Put some new depth in my face lines
[Chorus:]
But I can't be held on facetime
I hate zoom and I hate to waste time
But waiting for you to call is like watching paint dry
You're busy in day times
The shortest way between us was never a straight line
I thought we could stay high
Crossing the state lines
I thought it was God talking
I was seeing fake signs
You were seeing ley lines
It's crazy the kind of corroboration the brain finds
When you want to believe
I wanted to believe
[Verse 2:]
Without you all these trinkets and costumes
I've been saving and keeping
No longer carry any meaning
You can't wait to tell me your neice and your nephew's
New words and phrases
How you're playing "Guess Who" with with airport faces
[Chorus:]
Well I guess I had to be there
And I guess our lives can't be shared
Like they were
And life won't be fair
And I realize
The shortest way between us was never a straight line
Thought we could stay high crossing the state lines
I thought it was God talking, I was seeing fake signs
You were seeing ley lines
It's crazy the kind of corroboration the brain finds
When you want to believe
[Outro:]
I wanted to believe in you and me
I wanted to believe in you and me
I wanted to believe
