it was warmer out
on a day like today
and the sun had meant to be shown
but the world outside
was a shadowed gray
and I knew why I felt so alone
I was hiding out
but I looked quite fine
yeah, I wouldn't let it be known
I'll disguise the fact
that we missed our place
so you saw how I felt on my own
yeah I miss the time
that we spent on our own
watching clouds that sailed through the sky
picking fights with swords made of cardboard tubes
all the hugs that I gave when you cried
it was cooler out
on a night like tonight
and the stars were calm in their rise
but the world outside
was ablaze with light
and I knew why I felt so alive
you look like everything I ran from
Oh, Oh, Oh
I know your body like the back of my hand
and now I'll never have a chance to be myself
so you can skip me with your heart again
sending my confessions out to sea
so nothing can come back to haunt me
