I can't decide if it's a choice getting swept away
I was raised on a farm, no, it wasn't a mansion
Takin' down the pictures and the plans we made, yeah
I know someday I'm gonna meet her It's a fever dream
I hold onto this pride because these days it's all I have
Taxi cabs and busy streets
Now I heard you moved on from whispers on the street
And I just wanna tell you
We blocked the noise with the sound of ‘I need you’
The night we snuck into a yacht club party
I could see this view a hundred times
And your lover in the foyer doesn't even know you
And all I've seen since eighteen hours ago
And I gave to you my best and we both know you can't say that
I hear the sound of my own voice asking you to stay
And for the first time I had something to lose
Pale blue sky reflected in your eyes
Pretending to be a duchess and a prince
Just livin' room dancin' and kitchen table bills
The kind of radiance you only have at seventeen
A new notch in your belt is all I'll ever be
And your secrets end up splashed on the news front page
And it's strange how your face doesn't look so innocent
That never bring you back to me
It takes everything in me not to call you
Is green eyes and freckles and your smile
