Cards by Emi Camille Lyrics

[Verse]
The longest three months of my life started yesterday
I didn’t think I could still miss you this much, but now I have to wait
If I didn’t have a job and classes I’d write in here all day
About the way I wish I’d memorized each freckle on your face


[Chorus]
When I close my eyes it's like I'm back
At our frozen lake before it cracked
How we slid so gracefully


[Verse]
I work so hard to be someone that you could love again
But I’ll settle with the shell of you that I get every now and then
At the hotel when the sun peeks through the gap in the blinds
I'm scared that you’ll pack all your things and leave me behind


[Chorus]
When I close my eyes it’s like I’m there
And I run my fingers through your hair
In that old musty dorm

[Bridge]
In dreams, I go back to the start
At the table, throw down your card
In dreams, I go back to the start
At the table, we fell apart
[x3]


[Verse]
And they’ll probably get married, the friends we used to share
Maybe you’ll be his best man, and I’ll just wish I was there
I'll just wish I was there
I'll just wish I was there
