way past saving // high tide in the winter snow/ i never knew i could get that low/ cause they said they’d never leave/ but there i was alone/ you cancelled plans to show/ up waiting at my door/ where you said you’d never leave/ and i didn’t believe you/ now here we are/ we were both so sick of being second best/ being a back up plan really gets old fast/ so we vowed to never have to feel that way again/ i’ll put you first/ and you do the same/ and to think that i was so close to the bottom before you came/ summer came and the pain did too/ memories of the friends we knew/ but we held each other close/ and made these nights our own/ three months i was down to far/ we’d just drive in your car/ and you’d play the music loud/ and things would be okay somehow/ and we’re still here/ i think it’s safe to say that you saved me/ when i thought that i was way past saving/ all the late nights at my sister’s house/ and the drives inside your car/ we stayed the same/ we stayed the same/ and to think that i was so close to the bottom before you came/
