"Before You Let Me Go" lyrics

"Before You Let Me Go"

What if I never bought you coffee when we missed the last train
Just two strangers talking staying out of the rain
What if I never went back to your place
I didn't need convincing to stay
What if I never bought you coffee when we missed the last train

After all these years
We're back again
At the same damn place
That we missed that train
But this time
You're telling me you changed your mind

So before you let me go
Can we burn every photo
Won't you let me hold
All the seconds you stole
Should have known it from the start
I didn't mean to fall this far
Before you let me go
Give back the heart you borrowed

What if we never saw the lights over northern skies
Have I been living with my hands over my eyes

After all these years
We're back again
At the same damn place
That we missed that train
But this time
You're telling me you changed your mind

So before you let me go
Can we burn every photo
Won't you let me hold
All the seconds you stole
Should have known it from the start
I didn't mean to fall this far
Before you let me go
Give back my heart

I won't be wasting time
Looking for silver linings
You can keep your goodbyes
Just give me back what's mine

I won't be wasting time
Looking for silver linings
You can keep your goodbyes
Just give me back what's mine

So before you let me go
Can we burn every photo
Won't you let me hold
All the seconds you stole
Should have known it from the start
I didn't mean to fall this far
Before you let me go
Give back the heart you borrowed
