Hello From Tennessee

Lyrics

I’ve been writing love letters that you’ll never see

Confiding in new friends that you’ll never meet

Forever haunted by the day you said we couldn’t be

But I can’t stop playing all the memories

Of the chaos and beauty that we tried hide

Lying to our friends like “It‘s nothing, alright”

And then falling asleep talking on the phone every night

I guess we were scared that we finally got it right

She knows I’d give it all for another try

And I know she wouldn’t let me cause it’s not our time

And If that ain’t love, I guess the devil’s on the rise

Chloe, you’re the only one who ever knew me right

So I keep my head down like it’s some kind of proof

That I remember your horizons and the mornings that we flew

And if the fire starts to fade, I hope you’ll think of me too

You’re my everlasting light, I’m only burning for you, ‘cause

All I want is you

Will you come back to me?

Mmm, mmm, yeah

I’d give it all for you

Will you come back to me?

Mmm, mmm, yeah

Strange cities and unfamiliar streets 

It’s been a couple months, I moved to Tennessee

Told all my friends that I’m finally happy

But every night I fall asleep wishing you were with me

I’ve been picking up my phone and then pressing delete

Staring at the ceiling, laying in cold sheets

Singing in lonely clubs about the way we used to be

I’m not a religious man but I prayed she’d come back to me, truth

I guess this is life at twenty-six

Trying to chase a dream and moving love down the list

But if it were up to me girl, it wouldn’t be like this

I’d trade it all to hear your voice and fall asleep with a kiss, ‘cause

All I want is you

Will you come back to me?

Mmm, mmm, yeah

I’d give it all for you

Will you come back to me?

Mmm, mmm, yeah

So I keep someday in the back of my mind

And try to keep hope that real love can defy

These dried tears and cruel nights

Chlo, I miss you so much, this is the test of a lifetime

And I don’t get why you’re scared of this

I love every all of your scars and the darkest parts of you that exist

Yeah, we didn’t expect it

But if there was a risk to take, I think this is it

So I’ll wait

Until the timing’s right

I’ll run from stage to stage until you hear these lines

I meant everything I said, you’re the love of my life 

And, I’ll keep singing for you, until we don’t say goodbye, ‘cause

All I want is you

Will you come back to me?

Mmm, mmm, yeah

I’d give it all for you

Will you come back to me?

Mmm, mmm
