we had a season
[Verse 1: Em Grace]
Well, you were everybody's boyfriend
I was everybody's fear
Now I'm in everybody's clubhouse
Drinking everybody's beer
'Cause I threw, and I threw you away, and I knew you were gone
[Verse 2: Yana]
Now I'm down here in the hall
When i saw you saunter in
And i watched your face fall
From that peanut-eating grin
'Cause you knew that I knew that you knew how bad you'd done me wrong
[Pre-Chorus; Together]
And now you're here asking me for one final chance
Bad times are near and I promise we're allies of circumstance
But I need you tonight
Now look
[Chorus: Together]
We had a season
We had a year
Between when i died
And i reappeared
We had every ability
But we never found stability
I had my reasons
I had my fears
I thought we tried
I saw the tears in your eyes when I lied
I thought you'd be my bride
[Verse 3: Yana]
When you made a mix tape showin' where your heart was at
And I took that cassette down to the laundromat
And the driers there were thumping time
Punctuating every rhyme
'Til the end of Side A when the Walkman snapped your voice away
[Verse 4: Em Grace]
And each time that i snapped should've been the last one
I said i'd change, but i threw you a fast one
My arm flew, and i knew you couldn't stay
And I watched your face burn the last time you turned away
[Pre-Chorus]
And now we're here, there's only one place left to go
It feels so queer, and I know this is our final rodeo
And it isn't right
But still
[Chorus: Together]
We had a season
We had a year
Between when i died
And i reappeared
It turns out your fragility
Was just a big liability
I had my reasons
I had my fears
I had my pride
I had those tears in my eyes as i died
I never cried 'til i saw you...
[Bridge: Together]
Down here in the hall, where you never see the sun
And I want to play ball, and the game is far from won
And we won't know the score til the game is said and done
But I think this last fight is gonna be our final one
[Chorus: Together]
We had a season
We had a year
Between when i died
And i reappeared
All that's left is futility
It's too late for stability
I had my reasons
I had my fears
I'll let things slide
I know the tears in your eyes haven't dried
I'll swallow my pride
[Outro: Together]
Tonight I need you right here
