Go back
Lillies and Remains Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've started laying on your side of the bed
Even now I still hear what you said
"It wasn't you I just love him instead"
I hear my heartbeat inside of my head
Walking down the cold streets all alone
I hope it's you when my phone says unknown
But now I can't seem to find my home
It must have left when you drove away
Lately
I'm feeling crazy
Hoping you'd face me again so

Can we go back to when I was more than just your friend
When we didn't have to pretend
That our love would never end
So can we go back to when

Every time that I hear your name
My heart drops like it's still the same
Same feeling in my heart but cold
Same memories but now they're old
They've been telling me to leave behind
All the pictures that I have to remind
Me of when you were apart of my life
I'm still missing you when i look in her eyes
I've been trying not to remember you
But it's so hard to admit that we're through
I've been holding for way too long
Even after you drove away
Can we go back to when I caught you eye
Or can we go back to when we got too high
Or Can we go back to when it wasn't our last goodbye
Can we go back to when
Oh can we go back to when
Can we go back to when
Can we go back to when
Can we go back to when
Lately
I'm feeling crazy
Hoping you'd face me again so

Can we go back to when I was more than just your friend
When we didn't have to pretend
That our love would never end
So can we go back to when I was more than just your friend
When we didn't have to pretend
That our love would never end




So can we go back to when
Can we go back to when
