as you were

Settling on grass in your finest of sweaters
It's cheap, thrift down, but it fits in your world
Stretched out at the sleeves where your nervousness eats it
And your coloring? Well, it's worn down, too
Will you stay with me? I'll only be yours
In a memory in a distant world
I say I mean you well
Your stars were shining, still I will keep you there
As you were
As you were
There's a book by your side, reads of courage and conflict
An escape to a time that you wish would never end
And a sound in your head that carries you gently
From the park city loft to a simpler home
Will you stay with me? I'll only be yours
In a memory in a distant world
I say I mean you well
Your stars were shining, still I will keep you there
As you were
As you were
As you were
As you were
I'm so sorry
It's like my hands were tied
I'm so sorry
It's like my hands—
I'm so sorry
It's like my hands were tied
I'm so sorry
It's like my hands were tied
As you were
As you were
As you were
As you were
As you were
As you were
As you were
