After three, you should’ve struck out
but you’re coming back for the fourth time now
I thought I was going to make it home
without a scratch but you snuck up on me somehow

One split second was all it took
one smile and now I’m on your hook

Say my name and make me forget
the reason why I should forget you
Say my name and make me fall again
I guess you’re the one I’ll always come back to

One split second was all it took
now I’m never getting off your hook

I never crossed your mind
I've never been in your dreams
You never stayed up night
Just to think about me

So why should I?
Why should I do that all for you?

Your heart never raced at the sight of me
Your knees never felt weak when I'm around
My name is not the one your heart screams
And my voice is not your favorite sound

So why should I?
Why should I feel that all for you?

I can still feel the trace of your arms wrapped around me
I can still feel your warmth like you’re near.
And I know it’s my fault, so please, don’t remind me
I know I’m the reason you’re not here

So I tried to play it all back again
Because it’s so much better back when we can

Dance in front of many people
Pretend they aren’t there
Or act like we don’t care
Hold hands wherever we go
And whisper to each other things nobody knows

These things are just imprints
And they’re bound to fade
They’ll crumble to ashes
Like they were never made
But these little things
Imprints they might be
They have a way
Yes they have a way to stay

I can still hear your voice and the things that you said
When we were lying on my rickety bed.
You said this time tomorrow this will be our past
And since we can’t stay here let’s just make it last

But still I try to play it all back again
Because I am much happier back when I can

Laugh at your silly jokes
While tracing odd patterns
On clouds and on smokes
Sing when you play your guitar
Or when we’re driving around town in your car

These things are just imprints
But they’re what I hold on to
They are proof to me
That once I had you
And I’m placing my faith
On these little things
To have a way
To find a way to stay

I can still hear your laugh
While secretly wondering about the life we could’ve had
I can still see your face
And I’m wishing it’s somethings that time could not erase
But now you’re nothing but an imprint
And you’re bound to fade
Like a crumbling sand castle
Like the memories we made.

You
you haunt my thoughts
you plague my dreams
you won't give a ****
if i tear at the seams

Him
he’s skinny, he’s tall
to be honest, he’s not handsome at all
his cheek are scarred
his hands are rough
his teeth are crooked
but still I can’t seem to get enough
of the way he smiles
the way he walks
and I can’t help but listen
whenever he talks
I never expected that I would fall
because to be honest, he’s not the fairest of them all

— The End —
