Freshman Year

Once again the sunrise ends your day

I can’t come over

All you want is silence anyway

But your tears are beautiful

The couch is stained from your make up

I wonder, when you wake up

Will you remember all their lies?

You say that this is freedom

But maybe this ain’t real

You say you’re tired of chasing the stars

But here’s a new beginning

It’s your freshman year

And you don’t even know who you are

You fell in love on the freeway

Where the music leads your feet

But then you turned the other way

Down another street

It’s like playing games when we were young

You pretend this isn’t wrong

And I guess I’ll pretend I’m blind

In the mirror I see your face

Together we can leave this place

Mercy set us free tonight

I give myself back

You give yourself back

We give ourselves away
