***

[Verse 1]

    Bb

You hid me in your dorm room, it was Halloweekend

              Gm

I just flew across the globe, 22 hours just to see you

        Eb

Just to barely fit on your twin-sized bed

And talk about your cool new friend

      F

Who I never met, who you dated as soon as I left

[Verse 2]

Bb

Carolina autumn, it had been a year since I saw ya

         Gm

Since we ended it, had a year to grow into the girl you always wanted

          Eb

Now we're holding hands

As not quite friends, but not quite lovers

Well, we'll just pretend

               F

You say, "It's complicated to make amends"

Well, is that the way that we're headеd, then?

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Eb

And you couldn't answer me

                 Gm

Though you could pull mе in while I brushed my teeth

    Bb

And let your hands both freely speak

       F

Like I wasn't ever gonna leave

[Chorus]

Eb                    Bb

You were all I'd ever known

                        Gm

And now I'm supposed to love you from a distance

          F

Like it's nothing, like it's instant

    Eb                                  Bb

And you say, "Let's just see where this goes"

                     Cm

And I don't know how or why you seem just fine

            Gm                                          Ab

'Cause I'm havin' to grasp that you're somehow not mine anymore

 Gm                Eb                                   Bb

It's so cruel how things are only almost like they were before

[Post]

(Ah, ah, ah)

               Cm

Like they were before (Ah, ah, ah)

               Gm

Like they were before (Ah, ah, ah)

               Eb

Like they were before (Ah, ah, ah)

[Verse 3]

Bb

We walk downtown and it's charming

You're alarmingly disarming

            Gm

Yeah, we've got 48 hours left before I fly back to my death

          Eb

While you stay just fine and feel alive

South of the Mason-Dixon line

      F

Where everyone closes shop at 9

Where you could somehow finally find

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Eb

What you were desperately looking for

 Gm

Funny how you thought that was gonna be New York

           Bb

With our chalkboard walls and slanted floors

F

Oh, we could've had that and so much more

Gm

Ask your new lover what it's like to be given

  Bb

A real fighting chance before you wish her, "Good riddance"

     Eb                            F

Did anything ever really count, or was I just a two-year practice round?

[Chorus]

Eb                    Bb

You were all I'd ever known

                     Gm

And now I'm feeling stupid, you're forbidden

              F

They say yeah we were something, too bad we were children

Eb                        Bb

Oh, I don't know where to go

                     Cm

And I don't know how or why you seem just fine

           Gm                                            Ab

'Cause I'm lookin' at you and God knows you're not mine anymore

Gm                    Eb                                     Bb

It's so cruel how things will never be the way they were before

[Outro]

(Ah, ah, ah)

               Cm

Like they were before (Ah, ah, ah)

            Gm                        Eb

It's almost just like how it was before (Ah, ah, ah)

                    Bb

But it's not anymore

You hid me in your dorm room
Kau menyembunyikanku di kamar asramamu
It was Halloweekend, I just flew across the globe
Waktu itu sedang akhir pekan Halloween, aku terbang mengitari dunia
Twenty-two hours just to see you
22 jam hanya untuk melihatmu
Just to barely fit on your twin-sized bed
Hanya untuk mencoba muat di kasur twin-size milikmu
And talk about your cool new friend
Dan membicarakan tentang teman barumu yang keren
Who I never met, who you dated as soon as I left
Yang tak pernah kutemui, yang kau kencani setelah aku pergi

Carolina autumn
Musim semi Carolina
It had been a year since I saw you
Setahun berlalu sejak aku melihatmu
Since we ended it
Sejak kita mengakhirinya
Had a year to grow into the girl you always wanted
Punya setahun untuk tumbuh menjadi perempuan yang selalu kau mau
Now we're holding hands as not quite friends
Sekarang kita berpegangan tangan tidak seperti teman
But not quite lovers
Namun juga tidak seperti orang pacaran
Well, we'll just pretend
Kita hanya akan berpura-pura
You say, "It's complicated to make amends"
Kau bilang, "Cukup rumit untuk menebus kesalahan itu"
Well, is that the way that we're headed then?
Baiklah, apakah itu jalan yang kita tuju?

And you couldn't answer me
Dan kau tidak bisa menjawabku
Though you could pull me in while I brushed my teeth
Meski kamu menarikku saat aku menyikat gigi
And let your hands both freely speak
Dan membiarkan kedua tanganmu berbicara dengan bebas
Like I wasn't ever gonna leave, leave
Seperti aku tidak akan pergi, pergi

You were all I'd ever known
Kau segalanya yang pernah kutahu
And now I'm supposed to love you from a distance
Dan sekarang aku harus mencintaimu dari kejauhan
Like it's nothing, like it's instant
Seperti itu tidak berarti apa-apa, seperti instan
And you say, "Let's just see where this goes"
Dan kau bilang, "Mari lihat saja mengarah ke mana semua ini"
And I don't know how or why you seem just fine
Dan aku tidak tahu bagaimana dan mengapa kau terlihat baik-baik saja
'Cause I'm having to grasp that you're somehow not mine anymore
Karena aku harus mengerti bahwa bagaimana pun kau bukan milikku lagi
It's so cruel how things are only almost like they were before
Sangat jahat bagaimana segala hal hampir terasa seperti sebelumnya

Like they were before
Seperti sebelumnya
Like they were before
Seperti sebelumnya
Like they were before
Seperti sebelumnya

We walk downtown and it's charming
Kita berjalan di pusat kota dan itu terasa menawan
You're alarmingly disarming
Pesonamu sungguh mengkhawatirkan
Yeah, we've got forty-eight hours left
Ya, kita punya 48 jam tersisa
Before I fly back to my death
Sebelum aku kembali terbang ke kematianku
While you stay just fine and feel alive
Sementara kau tetap baik-baik saja dan merasa hidup
South of the Mason-Dixon line
Selatan dari Mason-Dixon
Where everyone closes shop at nine
Di mana semua orang menutup toko pukul sembilan
Where you could somehow finally find
Di mana kau bisa menemukan

What you were desperately looking for
Apa yang selama ini kau cari dengan putus asa
Funny how you thought that was gonna be New York
Lucu bagaimana kau berpikir bahwa itu adalah New York
With our chalkboard walls and slanted floors
Dengan dinding papan tulis dan lantai miring kita
Oh, we could've had that and so much more
Oh, kita bisa memilikinya dan lebih lagi
Ask your new lover what it's like to be given
Tanya kekasih barumu, apa rasanya diberi
A real fighting chance before you wish her, "Good riddance"
Kesempatan nyata untuk bertarung sebelum kau mengucapkan, "Selamat tinggal"
Did anything ever really count
Apakah segalanya benar-benar diperhitungkan?
Or was I just a two-year practice round?
Atau apakah aku hanya dua tahun latihan?

You were all I'd ever known
Kau segalanya yang aku tahu
And now I'm feeling stupid, you're forbidden
Dan sekarang aku merasa bodoh, kau dilarang
They say, yeah, we were something, too bad we were children
Mereka bilang, kita adalah "sesuatu", sayangnya kita masih muda
Ooh, I don't know where to go
Oh, aku tidak tahu harus pergi ke mana
And I don't know how or why you seem just fine
Dan aku tidak tahu bagaimana atau kenapa kau terlihat baik-baik saja
'Cause I'm looking at you and God knows you're not mine anymore
Karena aku melihatmu dan Tuhan tahu kau bukan milikku lagi
It's so cruel how things will never be the way they were before
Sangat jahat bagaimana segala hal tidak pernah terasa seperti sebelumnya

Like they were before
Seperti sebelumnya
It's almost just like how it was before
Ini hampir terasa seperti sebelumnya
But it's not anymore
Tapi kenyataannya tidak lagi
