A Long Hello

[Intro]

Let's make a bonfire

I got a blanket in my trunk

One blanket, and we could wrap it around both of us

The lake is beautiful this time of night

I wanna listen to your breath

While I look at the moon

Plus, plus I got you this overpriced iced latte

Look at the stars, check this out

[Verse]

There's far too many breakup songs

And there's not enough songs about the moment we met

A lot of words get spread, the pain, shame, and regret

And I'm not holdin' my breath for any change to the sketch

But I hope to death somebody can sing about

The countless times that we found a way to even out

Even though we were born to work with these hands

It's in the plan for us to learn the insecurity dance

It goes: make a party as the method to prevent it

I'm so sorry you reacted so defensive

If I could lend an unsolicited suggestion

Don't even know if I'd recommend that you paid attention

They told me "Hell never felt so good"

But I could tell that they only tryna sell some books

"Look, y'all know that I would help if I could"

But I was too busy tryna nail myself to some wood

There's more songs praising the people we went to prison with

Than there are praising the people we make children with

And I ain't saying either one is more legitimate

But it'd be ridiculous to think that it's coincidence

Shit, I'll never be the best at this

I write songs that I'm living in, welcome to my sweatshirt

I think it's magnificent that you're presently present

Thanks for listening, appreciate your effort

Cinderella, fit your hand in the glove

We on a spaceship, crash land from above

We on a lazy river, fly fishing for love

We on a double barrel shotgun, hunting for dove

Life is just a song, I hope that it's long

It starts with "hello" and it goes till I die

If I did know it all I'd at least attempt to clarify

Why we try to over-emphasize the goodbyes

[Outro]

We try to over-emphasize the goodbyes

We always over-emphasize the goodbyes

So just pretend this is a long hello

So just pretend this is a long hello

You can pretend this is a long hello
