The first time we met it felt like fireworks
The perks of the Midwest now've suddenly changed
The whole world passes by on a string I am tied
You're holding the can on the opposite side
Now lets open the door
Take a breath of fresh air
That summer was kind to us both
Now its time to be strong

You came to me opened your heart as we said hello
A year has passed and now you're gone, I begged you not to go
You said to me there's nothing here for me to hold on to
So darling let me be the one that holds on to you

No matter how many times I say you're beautiful
You'll act as if I'm telling a lie
All the phone calls we've made left us frail its a shame
Like two papers hearts riding on a paper train
Red-eye flights, summer drives, shooting stars in the sky
Is it enough to suffice, if you can't even trust me?

You came to me opened your heart as we said hello
A year has passed and now you're gone, I begged you not to go
You said to me there's nothing here for me to hold on to
So darling let me be the one that holds on to you

Where has our love gone now that we're apart
Is it lying dormant or is it just hiding in the darkest depths of our hearts
There is nothing that I need to prove
I've done, all that I can, to get through to you
