Night Feelings

He sees them both everyday now
 He watched the story unfold
 In the grass underneath the trees
 Inside a red SUV
 Two silhouettes and no second guessing
 "Is someone tryna to test me?" He thought to himself
 "Once upon a time I was an innocent little kid
 And I felt like I knew everything, now everything's against me"
 Just raise your guard and say "keep your heart" (keep your heart)
 You can't get burned if you put out the spark
 I feel I just can't win, let myself down again
 Just raise your guard and say "keep your heart"
 
 Those five weeks felt like forever
 He waited this whole time to see her again
 And of course wouldn't you know
 This happened two summers ago
 She showed up with her cool new boyfriend
 It's starting to annoy him, he thought to himself
 "Once upon a time I was an innocent little kid
 And I felt like I knew everything, now everything's against me"
 Just raise your guard and say "keep your heart" (keep your heart)
 You can't get burned if you put out the spark
 I feel I just can't win, let myself down again
 Just raise your guard and say "keep your heart"
 So I'd set it straight, she never know
 If we die today, you had me at hello
 I swear that I loved you
 I know I throw that word around
 But I mean it, I swear, I fucking mean it
 Raise your guard, raise your guard
 Say "keep your heart"
 And I can't win, I can't win
 You need your space again
 It's not the right time or place again
 You lied right to my face again
 In your basement, we were wasted
 I always try to talk at the worst times
 You dated many boys, I'm the worst kind
 Every word I write, it's the worst line
 So if I hurt her feelings, she hurt mine
 (And I can't win) raise your guard, raise your guard, say "keep your heart"
 You can't get burned if you put out the spark (I can't win)
 Raise your guard, raise your guard, say "keep your heart" (And I can't win)
 You can't get burned if you put out the spark
