I was not in a good place

You shut your eyes and toss a coin

Breakfast in the hotel

Sleepless in Seattle

Honest in your sweatshirt

Lying in your bedroom

The rest I kept a secret

Knowing we'd be dead soon
[Chorus 1]

I have let go

Your body hitting the ground it echoed

It takes time and it takes distance

Turning love into indifference

And you'll know you outlasted the drought

Turned you into Goliath

When I never was a David

The more I depreciated
[Chorus 2]

Butterflies for someone different

With no idea where you are living now

so I know I outlasted the drought

Barefoot on the boatside

Screaming through the stadium

I am not thinking 'bout you

It's wild I ever did

Now you are just a phantom

  Eb
I left in California

    Ab
And they might know your name there

    Fm
But Sydney's never heard of it
[Chorus 3]
Db
Now I've repent so

I leave you in every falsetto

I play the Metro

And let the memories show themselves out

But one day your hair is soft again

And you know you outlasted

And you know you outlasted the drought
