You were the anthem
Of my summer after high school
And I kept you on me
Like a timeless perfume
We saw some wars and firework shows
Bloody fists in my driveway
You were fighting your ghosts
You're still around
I feel it now
Hmm
Is this the start of the end?
'Cause you don't reach for my hand over coffee
Or turn the lights off and tell me you want me
And I feel more like a friend
Either way, I would do it again
Just to reach, just to be
At the start of the end
You don't call me
So let's call it what it is
And the distance doesn't get to you
Like I wish it did
I could throw a fit
Go kicking and screaming
Or I could love you and let you
Leave with your reasons
The time we lost
It's no one's fault
Hmm
This is the start of the end
'Cause you don't reach for my hand over coffee
Or turn the lights off and tell me you want me
And I feel more like a friend
Either way, I would do it again
Just to reach, just to be
At the start of the end
'Cause you don't notice I'm wearing a new dress
Or wanna go show me off on the weekend
We don't call in sick just to stay in bed
Either way, I would do it again
A Friday night kicked out of a dive bar
Downtown drive around in your first car
It's been so long but I can't forget
Either way, I would do it again
You and me at the start of the end
'Cause you don't reach for my hand over coffee
Or turn the lights off and tell me you want me
And I feel more like a friend
Either way, I would do it again
Just to reach, just to be
At the start of the (at start of the end)
'Cause you don't notice I'm wearing a new dress
Or wanna go show me off on the weekend
Just to reach, just to be at the start of the end
A Friday night kicked out of a dive bar
Downtown drive around in your first car
Here we you and me
At the start of the end
