Lyrics

if Penny rolls away
i will have lost everything
in many subtle ways
i already don't have anything
i hate to watch you go
Nick, if you ever learn it never shows

this is not a song
so why do i find it so hard to move on?
feels a crime to be crying for this long

in upper atmosphere my head comes loose
and in the free fall, i can feel the blues
i hate to watch you go
Nick, if you ever learn, it never shows

if this is just a song
then why do i find it so hard to move on?
feels a crime to be crying for this long
