Freshman Year

I fell in love with you freshman year
I never acted on it out of fear
But I wish I said something
Instead of doing nothing

It all went down freshman year
We always thought we were too good for beer
So we drank wine
To pass the time, to pass the time

I never understood you and now I never will

But you'll always be
Late nights, Mario Kart
2 am calls in the dark
Dancing around your apartment like a fool

'Cause you'll always be
Straight to voicemail
Where you been it's hard to tell
Don't hear from you for a week
But still

You'll always have a piece of the old me
But you'll always be
Bittersweet
But you'll always be
Bittersweet

Three years passed since you left town
A lot has happened while you weren't around
Swimming in the deep end
I was barely breathing
With the new friends that I found

Sometimes I close my eyes and I can see your face again
Listening to the ocean pink and white on the edge of the bed
Finishing each other's sentences before they're even said
But we've both changed is it too late for us
Is it too late for us

But you'll always be
Late nights, Mario Kart
2 am calls in the dark
Dancing around your apartment like a fool

'Cause you'll always be
Straight to voicemail
Where you been it's hard to tell
Don't hear from you for a week
But still

You'll always have a piece of the old me
But you'll always be
Bittersweet
But you'll always be
Bittersweet

Sometimes I think maybe I never knew you
I kept my quiet so I wouldn't lose you
But in the end it didn't matter
'Cause now you will, you will
You'll always be

Late nights, Mario Kart
2 am calls in the dark
Dancing around your apartment like a fool

'Cause you'll always be
Straight to voicemail
Where you been it's hard to tell
Don't hear from you for a week
But still

You'll always have a piece of the old me
But you'll always be
Bittersweet
(You'll always have a piece of me)
But you'll always be
Bittersweet
You'll always be
