lyrics

You were lying on my chest
And told me I like darkness,
That it soothes me and I find

It comforting. Though happiness
And I are really not the best
At getting on, I thought we tried.

I should say your assessment
Wasn’t wrong, but it's just
I didn't know you were right

And then I sat there in the silence
Ignorin’ what you’d said.
I should've known that it was time.

Did you think you’d be in California when you and I would die?

From that funny little moment
We’d hardly be speaking
Up until it was time

To talk about the ending
Of the two of us as one and
That maybe more could make it right.

“Can we just talk about the end and
How we know now it was just timing?
There’s no need to take a side.”

Yes I surely hope you miss me,
I know that’s really not how it should be...
Baby I want you to be alright.

Did you think you’d be in California when you and I would die?


Now, to face the truth, which is:
That you’ve finished your dissertation
And it's time to take a ride

To upstate New York. The city is
Far, but close enough if i’m moving
To that coast to realize

My dreams. Am I just dreaming?
Is this the end? Or am I just scheming
To keep keeping on you and I?

Now it’s the end, oh yes it is
And I know I’ll be ok with it,
But not ‘till after we say goodbye.

Did you think you’d be in California when you and I would die?
