I watched a TED Talk on our break
He had a smart person accent
He said, “Don’t look through the photos”
And then I looked through our photos
You came to Portugal in 2014
Just to spend a couple days with me
You flew halfway ’round the world for me
Now we can’t even be in the same room
My friends are making sure I don’t see you
I strategize a path to the bathroom
So I don’t walk past you
You leave before the concert is finished
It’s probably for the best that you didn’t
Make us try to fake our way through
“Hey, how are you?”
We can’t even be in the same room
We can’t even be in the same room
I swear I’m knocking out the next guy
Who says, “At least you’ll get some breakup songs”
‘Cause it ain’t nearly been enough time
Oh, to hell with all your silver linings
And I’m tempted to distract myself
I’m trying not to
‘Cause I’ll make myself feel all of this
It’s all that I’ve got left of you
We can’t even be in the same room
My friends are making sure I don’t see you
I strategize a path to the bathroom
So I don’t walk past you
You leave before the concert is finished
It’s probably for the best that you didn’t
Make us try to fake our way through
“Hey, how are you?”
We can’t even be in the same room
We can’t even be in the same room
It’s hard to summarize three years
More like four years
Depends where you start counting
It don’t matter
Everyone wants an explanation
And I don’t know what to say anymore
I just don’t know what to say anymore
When we can’t even be in the same room
My friends are making sure I don’t see you
I strategize a path to the bathroom
So I don’t walk past you
You leave before the concert is finished
It’s probably for the best that you didn’t
Make us try to fake our way through
“Hey, how are you?”
We can’t even be in the same room
We can’t even be in the same room
