Night Feelings

He sees them both everyday now
He watched the story unfold
In the grass underneath the trees
Inside a red SUV two silhouettes and no second guessing

"Is someone tryna to test me?" he thought to himself
Once upon a time I was an innocent little kid
And I felt like I knew everything,
Now everything's against me

Just raise your guard and say, "Keep your heart"
You can't get burned if you put out the spark
I feel I just can't win, let myself down again
Just raise your guard and say, "Keep your heart"

Those five weeks felt like forever
He waited this whole time to see her again
And of course wouldn't you know
(This happened two summers ago)
She showed up with her cool new boyfriend…

It's starting to annoy him, he thought to himself
Once upon a time I was an innocent little kid
And I felt like I knew everything,
Now everything's against me

Just raise your guard and say, "Keep your heart"
You can't get burned if you put out the spark
I feel I just can't win, let myself down again
Just raise your guard and say, "Keep your heart"

So I'd set it straight she never know
If we die today you had me at hello
I swear that I loved you
I know I throw that word around
But I mean it, I swear I fucking mean it

And you're gone and you're gone
Safe keep your heart
And I can't win, I can't win

You need your space again
It's not the right time or place again
You lied right to my face again
In your basement, we were wasted
I always try to talk at the worst times
You dated many boys, I'm the worst kind
Every word I write it's the worst line
So if I hurt her feelings, she hurt mine

[Repeat: x2]
(And I can't win, I can't win)
Raise your guard, raise your guard, safe-keep your heart
You can't get burned if you put out the spark
