Call me a loser

Call me a con

I’ve been stuck in the past

Since I had one

Only see green in fields I’ve already walked

Not one word

Never out loud

Don’t even know what it would sound like now

‘Til silence starts to sound like it’s what we want

So I went down to the water

Climbed the magnolias

I’m a high school hero

I can see it all up here

I wonder, are you doing better

In you high heels you love

Dancin’ in my rearview, I

Got a little older

Not much wiser

But I’m still growing

I’m still trying

But double dares and pinky swears

Made fools of us, dear

These games are just for kids who want to get played

So I went down to the water

Climbed the magnolias

I’m a high school hero

I can see it all up here

I wonder, are you doing better

In you high heels you love

Dancin’ in my rearview, I

I know it’s been a few years

And it probably never crosses your mind

I always had to leave

But I never meant to leave you behind

And I know I should’ve called

But I never could call it goodbye

And it’s been a few years

I just hope that you’re doing alright

Lost is the boy who never grows up

Wide is the city driving alone

The shipwreck sank below

But I just wanted you to know

Heavy is the heart that can’t let go

Empty is the hand that spends all your love

Time has healed this wound

But darlin’ you were my darkest blue

And it’s been a few years

And it probably never crosses your mind

I always had to leave

But I never meant to leave you behind

And I know I should’ve called

But I never could call it goodbye

And it’s been a few years

I just hope that you’re doing alright
