lyrics

summer is gone like the girl
you spent your summer falling for
and whether or not you admit it
you hate yourself for leaving her
but you make things hard for yourself
you always have so why change now
but oh don't you wish she was here
to hold your hand till you touch down

they tell you what to do if there's a sudden drop in pressure
like you've never worn a mask before or don't know how to find a door
but you know what to do when the oxygen runs out
because you have made a lifetime out of leaving

alaska is cold and the nights
are so long they're impossible
so why do you keep going back
to the things that make you miserable
oh, you make things hard on yourself
we've been through that, i've lived through it
so please just shut up and admit
that you're in love get on with it

they tell you what to do if there's a sudden drop in pressure
like you've never worn a mask before or don't know how to find a door
but you know what to do when the oxygen runs out
because you have made a lifetime out of leaving

why don't you tell her the truth
you live like you're trying to lose
why don't you tell her the truth
and live like you've got something to lose

they tell you what to do if there's a sudden drop in pressure
like you've never worn a mask before or don't know how to find a door
but you know what to do when the oxygen runs out
because you have made a lifetime out of leaving
