lyrics

It started with a ring from a gum wrapper
when she was seventeen and you told her that you'd love her forever
and the tangles in my hair, did you love them like you said you did?
I cut them off 'cause every time I brushed through the,
I thought of you and it became a problem
with hands around my neck I decided to live instead
only for the hell of it, only because you probably didn't expect me to.

Now let's ring in that time, that season
we buy presents for everyone we've ever met and we pretend
that our money couldn't be any better spent.
I wonder where you are now, I wonder what you're doing
I wonder if you're still living and if you think it's worth it

When you have wine you say it tastes like Sunday
and I tell you it tastes like blacking out on the cold front porch by my doorway
prohibiting others to walk out
you were clever, you got past me
you were moving rather quickly
like you've been waiting for a while now

It ended with a ring from a gum wrapper when she was seventeen
when she thought that you'd love her forever
well I guess forever ran through, dear.
