New Haven (feat. Lucius)

What can I, what can I, what can I, what can I say
You said it all, said it all, said it all with the look you just gave
You flicker like the street lamp above us

You sat there explaining, in your car while it was raining
How your feelings had faded away
I just kept looking at the shadows of the raindrops
Fall down your face
We've never been perfect, and now here you were
Ending it all instead
You always looked up when you were trying not to cry
But now you look straight ahead

I want to be with you
I want to be with you
I want to be with you
Yeah but I'm okay, I can let you go
I can let you go

And so I go back to New Haven where I know
Well I think I can save it
But you say if you come, you won't find me
And I start to feel poison ivy
And I want to shed my skin, yeah I want to shed my skin
Oh the life we could've had, oh the life we were in

'Cause I want to be with you
I want to be with you
I want to be with you
Yeah but I'm okay, I can let you go
I can let you go

So I go back to New Haven where I know, well I think I can save it
And you say if you come, you won't find me
And I start to feel poison ivy
And I want to shed my skin, I want to shed my skin
'Cause I know where you've gone, you've gone to look for him

So, I go back to the island where I know, well I think I can find him
And he can be my sweet gentleman farmer
We'd live out our lives in the waves and the water
But I can't find him anywhere, and I want to shed my skin
Oh the life we could've had, oh my life with him

'Cause I want to be with you
I want to be with you
I want to be with you
Yeah but I'm okay, I can let you go

What can I, what can I, what can I, what can I say
You said it all, said it all, said it all with the look you just gave
You flicker like the street lamp above us
