The Years Gone By - The Last Perfect Thing About This Year lyrics

rate me

I stand overlooking this town

Two miles I thought I'd never find

Overlooking lights, from cars that pass

You know I can't forget that night

We started running away

You fell asleep in the rain

You look too cute when you sleep

It's too big to escape

I'm not coming back home

If I had to

And girl, you're the one,

You know I really want to fall asleep to

I can't fall asleep to just anyone

And I've readied the letters to sign for the better

This summer I spent was the last perfect thing about this year

In time, I want you by my side through the night

I like my chances when it's us against the world

When these rooftops were made for dreamers

I've never felt so alive

Overlooking lights

I hope like hell that you stay with me tonight

It's everything worth dying for

It's not hard to see the heart in this

I'm the one who's faded, waiting

Hoping you'll stay (hoping you'll stay)

And girl, you're the one,

You know I really want to fall asleep to

I can't fall asleep to just anyone

And I've readied the letters to sign for the better

This summer I spent was the last perfect thing about this year

In time, I want you by my side through the night

I like my chances when it's us against the world

She saves me from everything (yeah)

She makes me feel alive

My frequency on high (high)

A clean break, a new start

A new star, to fall from

And I'll make it better (make it better)

I'm counting down the ways to say I will

And I've readied the letters to sign for the better

This summer I spent was the last perfect thing about this year

In time, I want you by my side for the night

I like my chances when it's us against the world

We'll keep the radio off

For when you're going to sleep

When you're beside me, I hear your heart beat

I'm not coming back home

If I had to, you know
