lyrics

I saw the way their anger made me
someone I didn’t want to know
nineteen and living in a daydream
(I wish I’d known then, but no)

I see the anger in our distance
I might have engineered a bit
two ways of looking at the same thing
(I wish it hurt less when I slid)

if I call you, can you hear me? Or do you only hear yourself?
if I call you, can you hear?

you don’t have to hold with my expectations
you don’t have to be just what I need
you don’t have to hear July’s revelations
you don’t have to live in fear of me
you don’t have to make one of us a liar
you don’t have to have to be somebody else
I don’t want to hold your feet to the fire
I just want to hold on to myself

New York is nothing but a past life
But I come and blend in with the rest
We laugh and talk about the old days
(I wish I remembered less)

I don’t forgive with any ease now
I’m living with too many scars
I know you’ll never understand it
(I wish your heart weren’t so hard)

if I call you, can you hear me? Or do you only hear yourself?
if I call you, can you hear?

you don’t have to hold with my expectations
you don’t have to be just what I need
you don’t have to hear July’s revelations
you don’t have to live in fear of me
you don’t have to make one of us a liar
you don’t have to have to be somebody else
I don’t want to hold your feet to the fire
I just want to hold on to myself
hold on to myself.
