lyrics

We’d hide under the willow at the end of the block,
And play a game of make believe where more than not,
We’d end up in the shed,
With your hand behind my head.

Well I never said a word and maybe that’s the tell,
Your Latter Day boyfriend, my own personal hell,
Until you moved away,
Did you feel anything that day?

For me anymore,
For me anymore,
For me anymore,
Is it me anymore?

If love was going to strike us down,
Honey I’d be long dead by now,
Honey I’d be long dead by now,
If love was going to strike us down,
Honey I’d be long dead by now,
Honey I’d be long dead by now.

You’d come back here every winter at your father’s place,
And frown when I would ask you if you’d asked him to stay.
“He said it’s for the best.”
And I could feel that in my chest.

Well I never said a word and maybe that’s the tell,
That I knew these kind of stories and they never end well.
And if you couldn’t stay, could you stop looking that way,

At me anymore
At me anymore
At me anymore
Is it me anymore?

And If love was going to strike us down,
Honey I’d be long dead by now
Honey I’d be long dead by now
And If love was going to strike us down,
Honey I’d be long dead by now
Honey I’d be long dead by now
