Suffice To Say

from Gray by Evan Knapp

lyrics

Lyrics:

I got this message from your name
You’d been listening to Ocean Frank
And it made you think of me, you hope I’m doing great
And hoped it wasn’t a mistake
But wait, as things were coming to an end
You said that you’d be open to use still being friends
Mentioning we should eventually reconnect
Before you stopped me by blocking me on all the interwebs
So I took that moment to ask if you were interested
You said you were and asked if I’d be into it
I said I would it don’t gotta be nothing intricate
Just wanna know, how’s life been since the time that we were intimate?
Admitted, I just wanted to say what’s up
Maybe remind myself exactly why did we break up
Half-expecting you to want to try and make things up
But when you didn’t I had to put this into quotations

You look just like the girl that I used to date
But something about you has changed
It makes me want you back but that’s a risk I can’t take
Suffice to say you’re different and the same in all the best ways

Last I heard you were moving to New Orleans
But here we sit inside a café in Portland
And you look gorgeous but I guess that’s not important
It appears as though our time apart’s allowed you to move forward
‘Cause you seem so happy, like I was holding you up
You push your comfort zone and don’t rely on anyone
No longer want a relationship, no, you just wanna have fun
Unlike the girl who said she’s ready to settle down with someone
But you still look fine and your smile’s still a masterpiece
Still look in my eyes as we talk so casually
All the inside jokes still come so naturally
As all the good times simultaneously come back to me
And this has to be a front
But I miss you so much
But I can’t forget the reasons why we’re no longer one
I gotta keep my head up and think straight because honestly
This is not about you, it’s about what I want you to be

You look just like the girl that I used to date
But something about you has changed
It makes me want you back but that’s a risk I can’t take
Suffice to say you’re different and the same in all the best ways

I must ignore the voice in my head, what it says messes things up
It’s the train in the distance that Paul Simon sings of
And it never goes away
It only changes shape
I just can’t help but feel like I made a mistake

You look just like the girl that I used to date
But something about you has changed
It makes me want you back but that’s a risk I can’t take
Suffice to say you’re different and the same in all the best ways
