[Verse]
You were the sun, and I was sunlit
You were, I was; we’re in the past tense
I ain’t lettin’ you waste me away no more

[Chorus]
You had that wayfare way about you
So far apart, I hated falling through
A little more savoir faire, a sway to my step
My faith and your love ain’t back-to-back baby
Oh

[Verse]
My heart is gonna stay right where I left it
I’ve made peace with those parts of us
My frame of mind and your wanderlust
I guess love is just a hit-and-run for you

[Chorus 2]
You had that wayfare way about you
So far apart, I hated falling through
You were the sun, and I was sunlit
What a fool, you and I would never make it
You and I would never make it
You and I would never make it

Wait a minute–are you hearing what I said?
Without you, I’m painting the town red
Baby you know I’m chill with that
I’ll be leaving the ghost of you I’ve kept
Used to feel your smile from a thousand miles away
(What a fool, you and I would never make it)

I was falling, now I’m flying
I was never gonna let you go, oh, oh
But now you’re in the past-tense, babe, you hear?
Now you’re in the past-tense, babe
But now you’re in the past-tense, babe, you hear?
Now you’re in the past-tense
