Homerun Hitter

If I'm gonna say it like it is

We've become identical to them

We've become the strangers we don't know

A dying rose

I'm forty miles North of where we met

You're forty miles South of where we live

It doesn't matter where we try to go

If all the exits are closed

There's nothing I could say

To keep my head above water

There's nothing I could do

If I lose one, I lose two

'Cause I thought you were the home-run hitter, the cherry that never bitters

Like the first taste of heat, the feeling I wanna keep until I'm dead (dead, dead)

There's nothing I could do (do, do)

And I thought you were a cold blood assassin, a truth I couldn't imagine

But that light never painted the room

Now there's nothing I could do (do, do) to make it easier on you

It's more than just the fire going out

It's more than just the candles on the ground

It's everything you wanted us to be

The parts I won't see

The door I always locked, you left it open

Too afraid that you would blink and it would close in

And we would lose our vulnerability

Oh, we were so naive

'Cause I thought you were the home-run hitter, the cherry that never bitters

Like the first taste of heat, the feeling I wanna keep until I'm dead (dead, dead)

There's nothing I could do (do, do)

And I thought you were a cold blood assassin, a truth I couldn't imagine

But that light never painted the room

Now there's nothing I could do (do, do) to make it easier on–

Easier on–, easier on–

Easier on–, easier on–

Easier on–, easier on–

Easier on you

There's nothing I could say

To keep those gorgeous eyes from crying

There's nothing I could do

If I lose you, I lose too

'Cause I thought you were the home-run hitter, the cherry that never bitters

Like the first taste of heat, the feeling I wanna keep until I'm dead (dead, dead)

There's nothing I could do (do, do)

And I thought you were a cold blood assassin, a truth I couldn't imagine

But that light never painted the room

Now there's nothing I could do (do, do) to make it easier on–

Easier on–, easier on–

Easier on–, easier on–

Easier on–, easier on–

Easier on you
