...for listening to our first new song in a while

lyrics

when you called me
called me on a summer afternoon
you were a book
no one could read
you broke your spine
pages fell on me

and as i set that ship to sale
carried the torch to burn that bridge
it dawned on me
i was a pest
i was the worst
you were the best

it's all on me and i will have to face that
you're the best! and nothing i'd say could change that

when you left me
left me at the diner in the cold
that was naive
but pretty bold
we'd split the bill
it'd gotten old

and over melted ice cream
i thought god what can i do
you'd grade on a curve
i failed each test
i was the work
you were the best

when i met you
met you on the bleachers after school
you were a mirror
i could see through
you liked me
you hated you

and yes i was so dumb
to think that i could rescue you
when i was a wreck
but i digress
i was the jerk
you were the best
