Mt. Pleasant
Peach Pyramid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was a fool
Splitting myself down the middle
Not giving myself enough
Way too little time
To make up my mind

You came along
You caught my eyes in an instant
I left my past in the distance
Let myself fall

I wish I could tell you
How could I possibly tell you?

Midnight and smoke
Linger on my denim jacket
You're casual, even though you are so distracted
You don't even have to try

Sinking in and I'm already gone
I know that I easily fall
I can't fight it anymore





I wish I could tell you
How could I possibly tell you?
