NIKI – Before Lyrics

Artist: NIKI
Song: Before

You hid me in the dorm room, it was Halloweekend
I just flew across the globe, twenty-two hours just to see you
Just to barely fit on your twin size bed
And talk about your cool new friend

Who I never met, who you dated as soon as I left
Carolina, autumn, it had been a year since I saw ya’
Since we ended it, had a year to grow into the girl you always wanted
Now holding hands as not quite friends, but not quite lovers

Well, we’ll just pretend, you see, it’s complicated to make amends
Well, is that the way that we’re headеd, then?
And you couldn’t answer me
So you could pull mе in as I brush my teeth

And let your hands both freely speak
Like I wasn’t ever gonna leave
You were all I’d ever known
And I’m supposed to love you in the distance

Like it’s nothin’, like it’s you instead
And you say, “Let’s just see where this goes”
And I don’t know how or why you seem just fine
‘Cause I’m havin’ to grasp that you’re somehow not mine anymore

It’s so cool how things are only almost like they were before [Ah, ah, ah
Like they were before [Ah, ah, ah
Like they were before [Ah, ah, ah
Like they were before [Ah, ah, ah]

Walk downtown and it’s charmin’
You’re alarmingly disarming
Yeah, we’ve got forty-eight hours left before I fly back to my death
While you stage it’s fine and feel alive

South of the Mason-Dixon live
Where everyone closes shop at nine
Where you can someone finally fine
What you were desperately lookin’ for

Funny how you thought that was gonna be New York
With the walls and slitted floors
Oh, we coulda had that and so much more
Ask your new lover what it’s like to be given

A real fighting chance before you wish her, “Good riddance”
Did anything ever really count, or was I just a two-year practice round?
You were all I’d ever known
And now I’m feelin’ stupid and forbidden

You’re sayin’, “We were somethin’, too bad we were children”
Ooh, I don’t know where to go
And I don’t know how or why you seem just fine
‘Cause I’m lookin’ at you and God knows you’re not mine anymore

It’s so cruel how things will never be the way they were before [Ah, ah, ah
Like they were before [Ah, ah, ah
It’s almost just like how it was before [Ah, ah, ah
[Ah, ah, ah] But it’s not anymore
