"Potential" lyrics

Isn't it funny how I was nearly falling out?
Tryna wrap my head around you
You kept me running, knowing I could never pin you down
Always trailing right behind you

And I wish I never did it
And I wish I never knew
Did it ever even happen if there's no proof?
You know I'm happy now
Still you like to come around
Neither one is telling the truth

Tracing it back to the start
For some reason the car never made it out of park

It's not easy
How you linger on me
All the words that we left unsaid got underneath my skin
Call me crazy
I feel the tables turning
I'm the one playing in your head when you can't sleep

Isn't it funny I'm thinking of another time?
Sneaking out so I could see you
Though you were never mine, maybe in another life
You might even see the plans through

And I wish I could forget it
But the wishing doesn't change
Kinda wish that you would call me when you're in L.A.
'Cause if we talk it out
Nothing left to talk about
Maybe I just need a clean break

It's not easy
How you linger on me
All the words that we left unsaid got underneath my skin
Call me crazy
I feel the tables turning
I'm the one playing in your head when you can't sleep

I pictured us getting older
I pictured us, but I get it now
Was hanging on to potential
I pictured you moving closer
Just seventeen, would've settled down
Was hanging on to potential

It's not easy
How you linger on me
