who you could be Lyrics

At your parents for the day

You'll be 24 in May

We've been on and off a couple months

And your mom set out the table-cloth

Talking Jesus over tea

And she's staring right at me

Like I'm some sort of anti-Christ

For teaching you there's more to life

Than being where you are

But you don't know where to start

So I try to fix

The glue never sticks

I thought you could be anyone,

Anyone but this

Cause you're a supernova

And I wish that you could see

That the hardest part of loving you it seems

Is that I love who you could be

You've been working for a wage

You say "it's a little phase"

That you're going through a reset,

but it's been that way since we met

I wish I didn't doubt

That maybe this time you'll come around

See that your future is an open door

But I can't unlock the key to yours

Cause I'll love you until the end

But I can't do this again

So why try to fix?

The glue never sticks

I thought you could be anyone,

anyone but this

Cause you're a supernova

And I wish that you could see

That the hardest part of loving you it seems

Is that I love who you could be
