30 Loose Ends

You borrowed my pen

I followed you home after school

Since then, we’re attached by the hip

Can't get closer than this

If we tried to

You've seen all my firsts

Me at my best and my worst

All of the heartbreaks and fractures

ended each chapter forever

But forever's gonna end after the summer

Who are we when we're not with one another

And what happens now

With nothing to tie us all down

Will we drift away

Speed down our own lanes

For money and titles

We say we'll still talk

We promised a lot after all

Just 30 loose ends

Trying to pretend

That this isn't final

I guess this is it

Time to tear down what we've built

All of the friendships and bridges

our made-up traditions

are lost to

Our first 9-to-5s

Then some will get bored and skip town

Get caught up with life

Untangle the ties

We thought were forever

But forever's gonna end after the summer

Who are we when we're not with one another

And what happens now

With nothing to tie us all down

Will we drift away

Speed down our own lanes

For money and titles

We say we'll still talk

We promised a lot after all

Just 30 loose ends

Trying to pretend

That this isn't final

We know how this ends

But let’s just pretend

That this isn’t final
