The Stories We Used to Read - Peter Sandberg

I can feel her breath as she's sleeping next to me Sharing pillows and cold feet She can feel my heart, fell asleep to its beat Under blankets and warm sheets If only I could be in that bed again If only it were me instead of him Does he watch your favorite movies? Does he hold you when you cry? Does he let you tell him all your favorite parts when you've seen it a million times? Does he sing to all your music while you dance to Purple Rain? Does he do all these things like I used to? 14 months and seven days ago Oh, I know you know how we felt about that night Just your skin against the window Oh, we took it slow and we both know It should have been me inside that car It should have been me instead of him in the dark Does he watch your favorite movies? Does he hold you when you cry? Does he let you tell him all your favorite Parts when you've seen it a million times? Does he sings to all your music while you dance to Purple Rain? Does he do all these things like I used to? I know, Love (I'm a sucker for that feeling) Happens all the time, Love (I always end up feeling cheated) You're on my mind, Love (oh darling, lead her where that leaded) It happens all the time, Love, yeah Will he love you like I loved you? Will he tell you every day? Will he make you make you feel like You're invincible with every word he'll say? Can you promise me if this was right? Don't throw this all away Can you do all these things? Will you do all these things like we used to? Oh, like we used to

When I scroll back through our recent days Try to understand how we could forget We made a promise to one another That nothing would ever break what we had Now we never talk when we fall apart We never talk when we fall apart We pretend we're OK, surrounding ourselves With one-way friendships and so-called friends I know we got used to new us, And I don't want to be there I don't want to be there where we are I know we got used to new life, And I don't want to be there No, I don't want to be there where we are Silence fallen between All the doors are locked, All the words unsaid, And we're still afraid of time Started to keep ourselves At a distance that we could control Not too close Not too far Now we never talk when we fall apart We just never talk when we fall apart We pretend we're OK by filling up our inner space With little hates and so-called love I know we got used to new us, And I don't want to be there I don't want to be there where we are I know we got used to new life, And I don't want to be there No, I don't want to be there where we are I know we got used to new us, And I don't want to be there I don't want to be there where we are I don't want to be there I don't want to be there where we are So walk away with me
