lyrics

Ever since I was a little kid I thought a gentleman
Should always step aside and be polite.
How could I know that you would pass me by
My blood ran cold. It sent me to the ground.
I feel safe on my knees.
I can still see you from here.
And some day I'll crawl back to you.
I'm sure that you'll wait for me.

And in between the summer led to spring,
I couldn’t see a thing. You’d come around.
You wiped the mud from my eyes.
I could see I was wrong.

And now you're walking away.
This is the fastest I crawl.
Look over your strong soft shoulder to see me fall behind.

No I don't believe in the good old days.
Yeah I won't relive any good old days.

A gentleman knows when it's best to bow out into the ground.
Last night I buried my phone and my hands and my heart.
The weeds will grow through my hair. And leaves will blanket my bones.
They'll find the fossil of someone who waited for you.

No I don't believe in the good old days.
Yeah I won't relive any good old days.
