I’m leaving on a plane
And maybe I’m insane
Cuz no one knows my name
Like they do at home
This summer went by quick
As we took our last licks
I’m scrolling through the pictures on my phone
I’m on and off today
I’m sorry that I moved so far away
I wish I’d had the chance to say I know
That people they can change
But friends will stay the same no matter where
And sometimes life, it isn’t fair
The first green’s always gold
The weather’s getting cold
And we said when we got older we’d have time to figure it out
So why do I feel older now
You know when you’re a kid
Your parents seem so big
And your life is yours to live for you
Now I’m a college grad
And I’m the same height as my dad
I think I’ve got his laughter too
I’m on and off today
I’m sorry that I moved so far away
I wish I’d had the chance to say I know
That people they can change
But family stays the same no matter where
And sometimes life, it isn’t fair
The first green’s always gold
The weather’s getting cold
And we said when we got older we’d have time to figure it out
So why do I feel older now
When I’m alone
I’m sinking like a stone
I’m driving circles round the block
Where do I go? The truth is I don’t know
What I am and what I’m not
I don’t really know myself
Maybe I’m just talking to myself
I don’t really know myself at all
I’m on and off today
I’m sorry that I moved so far away
I wish I’d had the chance to say I know
That people they can change
And I won’t stay the same, nobody does
But you’ve always got the ones you love
The first green’s always gold
The weather’s getting cold
And we said when we got older we’d have time to figure it out
I guess I’m getting older now

Dreamt of you again last night
Woke up with the smell of the ocean and a melancholic sigh
My body’s aching and it’s shaking my bones
We can’t go home
I’m holding on to memories of you
Like getting drunk on the beach at night or your favorite shade of blue
I miss the way you say my name when we’re alone
We can’t go home
You’re the sea and I’m the storm
You keep me safe, you keep me warm
You got me falling in love all over again
If you’re the shoe, then I’m the hole
We mend our worn, familiar soles
Finding comfort in loving my best friend
Don’t yell it yet, don’t speak so loud
We’ve flown the skies now touch back down
Don’t yell it yet
Elliot
I can’t, I can’t quite move on
If I could put all my pain and love into the music of a song
I’d write a song so good that you might sing along, oh
We can’t go home
You’re the sea and I’m the storm
You keep me safe, you keep me warm
You got me falling in love all over again
If you’re the shoe, then I’m the hole
We mend our worn, familiar soles
Finding comfort in loving my best friend
Don’t yell it yet
Don’t yell it yet
Don’t yell it yet
Elliot
I’ve been broken, torn apart
Cut to pieces, time to start
To try to patch them up and make them whole again
And though the seasons come and go
Time only heals the wounds so slow
And I’ll find comfort in the love of different friends
Don’t yell it yet, don’t speak so loud
We flew the skies, it’s over now
Don’t yell it yet
Elliot
