Lyrics From Live Performance
[Verse 1: Noah Kahan]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Noah Kahan]
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
[Chorus: Noah Kahan]
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
[Verse 2: Matt Quinn]
I got motion sickness
From the turn of the Earth and the twist of my words
[Pre-Chorus: Matt Quinn]
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
[Chorus: Matt Quinn]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus: Noah Kahan & Matt Quinn, Noah Kahan]
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
