Night Feelings

He sees them both everyday now.

He watched the story unfold.

In the grass underneath the trees,

inside a red SUV,

Two silhouettes and no second guessing.

“Is someone tryna to test me?” he thought to himself.

“Once upon a time I was an innocent little kid

And I felt like I knew everything, now everything's against me.”

Just raise your guard and say “keep your heart”.

You can’t get burned if you put out the spark.

I feel I just can’t win, let myself down again.

Just raise your guard and say “keep your heart”.

Those five weeks felt like forever.

He waited this whole time to see her again.

And of course wouldn’t you know

(This happened two summers ago),

She showed up with her cool new boyfriend…

It’s starting to annoy him. He thought to himself…

“Once upon a time I was an innocent little kid

And I felt like I knew everything, now everything's against me.”

Just raise your guard and say “keep your heart”.

You can’t get burned if you put out the spark.

I feel I just can’t win, let myself down again.

Just raise your guard and say “keep your heart”.

So I’d set it straight… she never know,

If we die today you had me at hello,

I swear that I loved you

I know I throw that word around

But I mean it, I swear I fucking mean it

Raise your guard, raise your guard

Say "keep your heart…"

And I can’t win… I can’t win…

You need your space again,

It’s not the right time or place again,

You lied right to my face again

In your basement, we were wasted.

I always try to talk at the worst times,

You dated many boys, I’m the worst kind.

Every word I write it's the worst line

So if I hurt her feelings, she hurt mine.

(And I can’t win… I can’t win…)

Raise your guard, raise your guard, say "keep your heart."

You can’t get burned if you put out the spark (2x)
