hi! these two songs reminded me a lot of each other and i though i'd put them together! i hope you enjoy :) i call it: knew our champagne problems all too well
lyrics:
i walked through the door with you, the air was cold
but something ‘bout it felt like home somehow and i
left my scarf there at your sister’s house and you’ve still got it,
in your drawer, even now
you booked the night train for a reason
so you could sit there in this hurt
bustling crowds or silent sleepers
you're not sure which is worse
and i know its long gone and, that magic’s not here no more
and i might be ok but i’m not
fine at all
cause there we are again on that little town street
you almost ran the red cause you were looking over at me
wind in my hair, i was there, i remember it
all too well (your heart was glass i dropped it, champagne problems)
you told your family for a reason
you couldn't keep it in
your sister splashed out on the bottle
now no one's celebrating
and you were tossing me the car keys, “f the patriarchy”
key chain on the ground,
we were always skipping town
and then you wondered where it went to as i reached for you
but all i felt was shame and you held my lifeless frame
dom pérignon, you brought it
no crowd of friends applauded
your hometown skeptics called it
champagne problems
you had a speech, you're speechless
love slipped beyond your reaches
and i couldn't give a reason
champagne problems (all too well yeah)
and maybe we got lost in translation
maybe i asked for too much
but maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up
running scared (your midas touch on the chevy door,
november flush and your flannel cure
“this dorm was once a madhouse"
i made a joke, “well, it's made for me”)
i was there, i remember it all too well (how evergreen, our group of friends
don't think we'll say that word again
and soon they'll have the nerve to
deck the halls that we once walked through)
and you call me up again just to break me like a promise
so casually cruel in the name of being honest
i’m a crumpled up piece of paper lying here
cause i remember it all, all, all
too well (one for the money, two for the show
i never was ready, so i watch you go
sometimes you just don't know the answer
til someone's on their knees and asks you
“she would've made such a lovely bride
what a shame she's fucked in her head," they said
but you'll find the real thing instead
she'll patch up your tapestry that i shred)
and, hold your hand while dancing
never leave you standing
crestfallen on the landing
with champagne problems
it was rare, i was there, i remember it all too well
wind in my hair, you were there, you remember it all (just between us / crestfallen on the landing)
down the stairs, you were there, you remember it all (your heart was glass, i dropped it)
it was rare, i was there, i remember it (your hometown skeptics called it)
all too well (you won’t remember all my, champagne problems)
