about

This song's title is the length of the relationship that inspired it. A whirlwind romance that seemed set to go the distance, but was over all too soon. You know how it goes.

lyrics

It's so cliché how much I didn't say before I watched you drive away
Taillights fading and all that, don't think you're ever coming back
A rubber band behind my hand sitting where the blood pumps up my veins
Stain of pain I try to hide behind, split-second sting, you're off my mind

Were we ever meant to be here anyway?
Was it real or did I waste those hundred days?
Surrounded by my love, I sing a song to what it was
Sun rises and it falls a hundred times

Ashamed to say that at the time of day when the numbers are the same
Breathing prayers I'd see you walking backwards one of these days
You walked out and that was when you left me twisting in the wind
Now I'd like if you'd give me back the warmth you took away from me again

Were we ever meant to be here anyway?
Was it real or did I waste those hundred days?
Surrounded by my love, I sing a song to what it was
Sun rises and it falls a hundred times

I know you better than you even know yourself
I'm not just here to get you off and let you put me on a shelf
By the time you've got it all together, it'll already be too late
Who knew eternal love had an expiration date?

You give me the type of feeling people have written books about
But you know I'm not a not a novelist, so I sing my feelings out
I've put pen to paper, then pick to strings a million times before
Yet again, the same old song: She wants less and I want more

Were we ever meant to be here anyway?
Was it real or did I waste those hundred days?
Surrounded by my love, I sing a song to what it was
Sun rises and it falls a hundred times

I know you better than you even know yourself
I'm not just here to get you off and let you put me on a shelf
By the time you've got it all together, it'll already be too late
Who knew eternal love had an expiration date?

I know you better than you even know yourself
I'm not just here to get you off and let you put me on a shelf, no
Well, look who's got it all together, but it's already way too late
You knew eternal love had an expiration date
