Tough Love

We first met
In a dark bar that's no longer there
You liked my hair
I laughed and walked away

But your memory stayed
And when you
(Wake up, sunrise in the sunset)
(We take it day by day)

Called me on the phone
To tell me your heart broke
I was four hundred miles away
Felt connected anyway
So together we drank on opposite ends of the state
Like we'd known all along

That we'd fall in love
It was tough love
(Patience, stir it till it boils)
(Watch it evaporate)

Now we sit dodging darts at pitts
And I think back to the time you'd call me every night
To let me know you still cared for my orange hair
I know he still exists

Even when you insist
We can't hang on
(Memories flowing in the distance)
(Don't let them slip away)
Tough love
