Chase, I Hardly Know Ya

I screamed at my skin, "Please stay younger"

Where did the years go when I was feeling stronger?

Right out the window when I was driving your car

In the rear view I saw my heart

It spun and landed in the front yard

Of a place I knew before

Before I knew it, distance crossed my mind

Divides my spirits half for faith and half for better times

So how long is four years? It's an eternity I suppose

Infinity beckons me to a simple place to hide

Lay down and cover your eyes so bright from awful morning light

I'm so scared of death, not fond of life

And facing my fears doesn't feel right so, I'll carry on tonight

Lay down and draw the blinds, the past is always on my mind

So call me at midnight, or call me anytime

I'm patiently waiting, the past is on my mind

I memorized the nuances of conversation held that night

I memorized every detail of your skin, we were spread so thin

Could've seen you in the basement, could've seen you in the hall

But it doesn't even matter, 'cause it was nothing at all

Could've seen you in the basement, could've seen you in the hall

But it doesn't even matter, 'cause it was nothing at all

I've been thinking what you said is true

Our lives are reds and greens and shades of blue

Our colored pasts reveal what is true

Nothing that I said to you paints a pretty portrait of us two

We're different shades of blue
