Ivy - Life Lessons

Did you find out if it was poison ivy?

That mark under your chin

You didn’t know how it got there

Just a blemish on your perfect skin

We never meant to let go

We just liked to pretend

That we’re not scared of the future

You’re just as broken as I am

And that comforts me in ways you could never see

This is not what I’m supposed to be

And I’m not sure what you see in me

You never tell me what you think

You keep that to yourself

So tell me what you want

Am I a knight in shining armor?

Or a boy that doesn’t leave you alone?

I’ll make the drive every day if I have to

If you let me (if you let me)

So while we lay in bed

For the first time, in a long time

I know I’ll ruin it again

Just shut your mouth and try to capture it

All I can think is «I hope this is not the last time»

In the past these moments have been too good to last

Let me forget (let me forget)

I know I said I’m not coming back

This is not what I’m supposed to be

And I’m not sure what you see in me

You never tell me what you think

You keep that to yourself

So tell me what you want

Am I a knight in shining armor?

Or a boy that doesn’t leave you alone?

I’ll make the drive every day if I have to

If you let me (if you let me)

The seasons change here in seconds

Petals lose all their colors

I’m just too tired to protest

You changed in ways that I don’t get

But I’ll learn to except that

You’re not the shy girl I used to know

You’re not the shy girl I used to know

You’re not the shy girl I used to know

If you’re a flower and I’m a tree

You’ll never grow at the same pace as me

I just think while you live in the moment

I never stop, soak it in and enjoy it
