The Answer Was Yes
Verse 1
Male V.
An hour on the highway, just to see your face.
Felt like I was the only one who ever made that race.
Female V.
You know my door was open, but my walls were built so high.
I'd make a joke to push you back, then never tell you why.
Male V.
We came back from the silence after that first fall.
I hid the gifts around your room, I wanted to give you all.
Female V.
You told me I deserved it, I tried to let you in.
But I never quite believed you, right there where we'd begin.
Chorus
Female V.
I asked you for the future, a straight and honest line.
Male V.
You asked me for Forever, I just needed a little time.
Female V.
I heard you in the hesitation, I couldn't stand the space.
Male V.
You read my mind and got it wrong, then you erased the place...
Male & Female V.
...we were supposed to go.
Male V.
Four days of silence and a message on a screen.
Female V.
A digital goodbye, the final, closing scene.
Male & Female V.
The cruelest kind of distance that I have ever seen.
Verse 2
Male V.
I was booking a surprise, a weekend by the coast.
Finding you a driver's seat to give you what you want the most.
Female V.
I was staring at the ceiling, believing all the lies,
The ones I tell myself about the doubt in people's eyes.
Male V.
I found a car to race in, to make your dream come true.
Female V.
Another hour ticking by with nothing back from you.
Male & Female V.
I guess we both were planning a world the other couldn't see.
The answer that was coming was always "You and me."
Chorus
Female V.
I asked you for the future, a straight and honest line.
Male V.
You asked me for Forever, I just needed a little time.
Female V.
I heard you in the hesitation, I couldn't stand the space.
Male V.
You read my mind and got it wrong, then you erased the place...
Male & Female V.
...we were supposed to go.
Male V.
Four days of silence and a message on a screen.
Female V.
A digital goodbye, the final, closing scene.
Male & Female V.
The cruelest kind of distance that I have ever seen.
Bridge
Male V.
That line about the other guys, you said it was a joke.
I tried to laugh along with you each time my own trust broke.
Female V.
I was terrified you'd leave me if I ever let you near,
So I built a house of irony and decorated it with fear.
Male V.
My first and honest thought that night was not a lover's plea,
It was "I don't have the power for this drama, this isn't me."
Female V.
And my first and honest thought was, "See? He'll never really choose."
Male & Female V.
We handed one another the excuse we had to use.
Final Chorus
Female V.
I asked you for the future, a straight and honest line.
Male V.
I know you heard me hesitate, but the answer was "Be mine."
Female V.
I couldn't stand the silence, I couldn't take the space.
Male V.
Now all that's left are screenshots and an empty, digital place...
Male & Female V.
...we were supposed to go.
Male V.
On the eve of new beginnings, a message on a screen.
Female V.
A rehearsed goodbye, the final, closing scene.
Male & Female V.
The cruelest kind of distance that I have ever seen.
Male V.
You didn't have
