Bloodoath

Names carved in the pavement
On the corner of the block where we all came from
When we were water bottle boozin' in your basement
Older sisters always hated when we blamed them
Closet full of sweaters
From the '90s when our folks were still together
Yeah, love is blinded by the pressure of forever
We made a blood oath, said we swore we’d do it better
Maybe it was wrong to say
We would always stay this way
And I hated you for walking away
But honestly, I’d do the same
And we weren’t always telling lies
Life’s just a series of goodbyes
Time is less forgiving
And I’m ungrateful sitting down for two Thanksgivings
Yeah, we were planning on escaping, going missing
And we got older in a loft in New York City
I found a folded letter
Your dad was writing to my mom when he first met her
Yeah, love is blinded by the pressure of forever
We made a blood oath, said we swore we’d do it better
Maybe it was wrong to say
We would always stay this way
And I hated you for walking away
But honestly, I’d do the same
And we weren’t always telling lies
Life’s just a series of goodbyes
We made a blood oath, said we swore we’d do it better
