southstate - Polaroids

The best sunsets lit the best of times
You were a brown-haired silhouette against a Dallas skyline
And the dipping dying sun painted your cheekbones
Cherry and marigold
Menthol-flavored smile
It’ll stay with me awhile
Nostalgia lights your face
Under neon signs and paint
Baby love just stay with me awhile
Flowers hanging in your room
Lost their life like I left you
Tangled bodies on your bed
Now we’re silent strangers
I wanted you to know
You to know
That I miss the scent of lavender
On your wrists and your hair
To chase the empty space that lingers here
I thought the pages of conversation
In late-night hours would be enough
To put our history inside the grave the past dug for both of us
But you know
You know
Every time I hear that LANY song, pink skies
I miss the way you filled the space that lingers here
Now we’re reversing polaroids
And I can’t stop you from
Disappearing, fading out
Like I never held you
But I still feel you
I see you standing, silhouette
On sunsets and skylines
We’re caught up in our time
I try to savor the moment
But it still passes me by
Used to think about the slides we’d do
Used to stay up and talk to you
I was sleepless and unaware
For a text, for a text
Used to think about the slides we’d do
Used to stay up and talk to you
I was sleepless and unaware
For a text, for a text
Disappearing, fading out
Like I never held you
But I still feel you
I see you standing, silhouette
On sunsets and skylines
We’re caught up in our time
I'd stay awake and wait for you
I see you standing
Sleepless and unaware
Silhouette
