People That We Used To Kiss (Live From CCS)

Where do I belong?
Those kind of thoughts have been known to kill someone
Waiting for the dream to come
Hopefing this fairy tale might be your one...
Way ticket out of here
A cheap apartment as you pay back your loans
A new promotion helps to strengthen your bones
And your fiance wipes their feet when they get home

Oh but right now you buy a cup of coffee every morning
And it doesn't seem so long since the taste was far too strong
But the was ten years ago, now it's always double espresso

Go out to the bar
Hoping to look nice 'cause they might be there too
And your friend says that they're fine to pursue
Who knows, maybe they'll be better to you
Glance across the room
A simple stutter as you greet them with your eyes
You've done it before but it's different this time
And your stomach feels full of more than butterflies

Oh but right now there's an alarm set for six in the morning
And it doesn't seem too long since your heart was going strong
But that was eight years ago and even more "I-told-you-so"s

And all of my friends used to be more than friends
They switched around and traded just to find the right fit but they never did
Now we're all just hanging out with people that we used to kiss

Keep your eyes half-closed
Maybe they won't see that you're still hanging 'round
And maybe you won't see their dreams have been drowned
Tried to cry out but they never even made a sound

Blame it on the hoards
They swarmed around you when you were just brand new
Promised all the things that they could do
Pulled out your chair and knelt down to kiss your shoe

Oh but right now you're counting teardrops at two in the morning
And it doesn't seem so long since you wrote your last song
But that was five years ago and even more since your last show

And all of my friends used to be more than friends
They switched around and traded just to find the right fit but they never did
Now we're all just hanging out with people that we used to kiss
