lyrics

CRUSH
Hearts wide open, I'll hold my breath
Your eyes were silent, swerve and catch
I couldn't remember, I could forget
I'm letting go of a promise kept
We'll ride this high, hands intertwined
Your silhouette against the sky
In this shitty town, broken and blue
All that matters is me and you
With drunken eyes and nostalgic sighs
We're losing count of the traffic lights
We're finding love in these gutter dives
Better days may never arrive
The open road brings clarity
Reflection through the songs to sing
Crisp and clear, bright and true
Every word was always meant for you
With drunken eyes and nostalgic sighs
We're losing count of the traffic lights
We're finding love in these gutter dives
Better days may never arrive
I'll keep moving despite disenchantment
I won't give in to bitterness
I'll do better with the days I'm given
I won't drown in the past
I won't bet on anything
(It was always you)
And I'll savor every moment passionately
I'll keep loving like there's no eternity
