Deadline

How did it take eight months

To say how we felt after one?

Oh, what a joke, what perfect timing

You're moving away next week

But I still wear your shirt when I sleep

I kinda hope you leave it behind and come find it

It's always college, a job ends, or an ex is back from vacation

Tell me why all my first dates have expirations

I let it happen again, and my heart is racing ahead

And I'm full speed at a red light

There's something wrong with my head

'Cause I'm only making my bed, if your heart has a "for rent" sign

And I knew that it was over the second that we tried

So why did I?

You'll be leaving soon, but I wish I didn't have to love you on a deadline

I'm hanging out with your friends

So you'll think of me when you're with them

I'm pretty sure you know what I'm doing

And I don't love you, I just think I could

Why does everything fall through when it gets good?

I let it happen again, and my heart is racing ahead

And I'm full speed at a red light

And there's something wrong with my head

'Cause I'm only making my bed, if your heart has a "for rent" sign

And I knew that it was over the second that we tried

So why did I?

You'll be leaving soon, but I wish I didn't have to love you on a deadline

I, I don't wanna love you on a deadline

I, I don't wanna love you on the last date, on the last night

Doing everything for the last time

When you ask me if I'll miss you

I don't wanna love you, I don't wanna love you

When you're packing, and I'm anxious

And I'm acting like I'm not a train wreck

Or at the airport when I tell you

I don't wanna love you, I don't wanna love you

But I

I let it happen again, and my heart is racing ahead

And I'm full speed at a red light

There's something wrong with my head

'Cause I'm only making my bed, if your heart has a "for rent" sign

And I knew that it was over the second that we tried

So why did I?

You'll be leaving soon, but I wish I didn't have to love you on a deadline
