another solitary walk round the square
friends and crowds fill up spaces, but you're not there
another night spent selfishly in my covers
i can feel the cool absence, this bed's made for lovers

flat root beer float like water pouring down my throat
am i a fool for validating my day with mindless transactions?

but i can pretend that you're here, and it's fine, it's all good
life's all cheer, living here in your arms, like i should
and pretend there's no wait, not a year, you're just here
there's no fear, let your wings spread, my dear
but til then guess i'll walk all alone
live all on my phone

living on my phone and i'm counting down the golden days
waiting out my prime all alone so i can feel your rays
it'll all be worth it as i sleep on that first night
with you next to me, and i hold you in my arms so tight

another solitary walk round the campus
memories of the weekend, that's why we began this
another night spent with my paw and a roleplay
one more morning excused because i walked to the cafe

cars and airplanes
thousands of miles will ease my pains
am i a strain, do i make things hard
with these boarding passes?

but i can pretend that you're here, and it's fine, it's all good
life's all cheer, living here in your arms, like i should
and pretend there's no wait, not a year, you're just here
there's no fear, let your wings spread, my dear
but til then guess i'll walk all alone
live all on my phone

living on my phone and i'm counting down the golden days
waiting out my prime all alone so i can feel your rays
it'll all be worth it as i sleep on that first night
with you next to me, and i hold you in my arms so tight
