* this one is a holdout from when i was working on the followup to the first ghost hotel album since its in more of a dream pop vein
if it appears on the boy classic album it will need to be reworked, but i do really love it and hated seeing it go to waste *
lyrics
we could take the car and drive for hours
doesn’t matter where we go
all the neighborhoods they bleed together
in the town i used to know
there’s no way talk about the future
it’s just hanging in the air
i won’t be the first to break the silence
doesn’t mean that i don’t care
and i’m still here for now
won’t you stay with me awhile
all the things i thought would make me feel complete
are never as they seem
and it comes so easily
now we’re lying in your parents backyard
underneath the evening sky
and i know you think we'll live forever
but i’m not afraid to die
but i’m still here for now
won’t you stay with me awhile
all the things i thought would make me feel complete
are never as they seem
and it comes so easily
oh i’m still here for now
won’t you stay with me awhile
all the things i thought would make me feel complete
are never as they seem
miss the forest for the trees
and it comes so easily
