Good Kids, Bad Timing

I still see your face
In the quiet parts of night

We used to talk until the morning
Like the world could wait outside
You'd fall asleep in my old jacket
With your hair across your eyes

I remember how you held me
Like I was something you could lose
Back when love still felt so easy
Back before we had to choose

We had it
We really had it
That's what makes it hurt this way

We were good kids, bad timing
Too in love to say goodbye
Too close to let go easy
Too young to know how to fight

And I still break when I remember
How you looked that final night
We were good kids, bad timing
And I still wish
You were still mine

There was no big crash between us
No twisted words, no one to blame
Just life pulling in different directions
And two hearts losing to the weight

You said: Maybe in another lifetime
I tried to laugh, but I just stared
Because some endings don't feel finished
They just leave you standing there

You kissed me
Like you meant forever
And left me with the sound of it

We were good kids, bad timing
Too in love to say goodbye
Too close to let go easy
Too young to know how to fight

And I still break when I remember
How you looked that final night
We were good kids, bad timing
And I still wish
You were still mine

I still hear your voice in small things
In songs, in streets, in passing cars
I still reach for you some mornings
Before I remember where we are

And I hate that love can be real
And still not be enough
I hate that we meant every word
And still ran out of us

If I had one more minute
I wouldn't try to be strong
I'd say don't go
I'd say I need you
I'd say I knew it all along

We were good kids, bad timing
Too in love to say goodbye
Too close to let go easy
Too young to know how to fight

And I still break when I remember
How you looked that final night
We were good kids, bad timing
And I still wish
You were still mine

We were good kids, bad timing
And that's what stays with me tonight
Because the truest love I ever had
Was the one I couldn't keep in my life

I still see your face
In the quiet parts of night
