Story behind the song
About a girl in my sophomore year of college, how I went in for a kiss, and then how things became awkward.
Lyrics
At your door you looked at me
as we parted ways tonight,
but silly me I turned back to tell you
all the things i meant to say
like a kiss on the lips
to halt these thoughts of what could be.
So you closed your eyes and opened your hands
as I went in for the end.
The end for you,
it was the end for me.
If I had known, I would've changed.
It was late at night
a nearly perfect date
as I walked you up those stairs,
and there's no sun outside your door,
and it rains inside with these thoughts of you.
I tried to salvage the thought of us,
but I forced these feelings for way too long.
So you closed your eyes and opened your hands,
my feet were possessed, butterflies inside and out
I'm sure you could tell I tried to force
this bridge for you to walk on,
the supports' wearing thin.
I blame this tired state of mind
because of you
because of me
I blame this tired state of mind
because of you
these thought of you
I blame this tired state of mind
because of you
because of you
So you closed your eyes and opened your hands
as I went in for the end
the end for you
it was the end for me
if I had known, I could've changed.
but promises can't be kept...
