“Adeline” was written as a letter to a long-lost friend - someone you wish you still had in your life, but grew apart from before you could fix things. Sarah’s lyrics tell the story of becoming a little older, wishing she could tell that person about each day, and hoping that when she someday meets that former friend again, they won’t have changed into someone unrecognizable.
lyrics
Adeline:
come back find me when i’m 17
tell me i’m not ugly and write me poetry
found out you’re leaving, hold me in your skin
break down all the echoes of places we have been
Adeline
the good stuff’s always over
or i just never went
i stare into my iphone but i can’t find my friends
why then do i wait here drowning in my skin,
i’m always making mountains out of all the could’ve beens
Adeline
you’re fading
you’re losing all your colors
i wish i’d called
cause I don’t want you to change anymore
i don’t want you to change anymore
but what would I even say anymore
what could I even say anymore
come back find me when i’m 70
tell me you remember the words i used to sing
and we’ll watch life in reruns that play beneath our skin
hold me for the moment, forget the could’ve beens
Adeline
