It's been a long time since my world turned upside-down
And you'll be happy to know I'm doing just fine
When I walk by your house at night
I only think of you twenty times

And now I'm sitting in the same room as you
Yeah, I'm totally not thinking about it
Trying to avoid your eyes
Cuz I can feel you avoiding mine

And really, I talk before the words go through my mind
And that's why now I stay closed off all the time
Now that I've got it, my first taste of crime
Did you like it better when I was polite?

Now I know what it feels like when you can't catch your breath
When you honestly think that you'd rather face death
For all of my silent screaming and all of my fears
And yes, I still remember after all of these years

Opening this notebook, it reopens old scars
I thought it was over, but it's barely just begun
Cuz I'm still walking by your second-hand car
Thinking that this is thought twenty-one
