Everest Hall Ashes

[Verse 1]

Ryan met Angella

By the Everest gates

Shared cheap iced tea

And a hundred late mistakes

In the library hush

Under exam week stress

He wrote her notes in margins

She read between the mess

[Pre-Chorus]

They said slow down

But the world felt kind

Two small names

With one big mind

[Chorus]

Ryan and Angella

What we had was real

Ryan and Angella

We knew how to feel

Now Everest is cold

And the hallway's gone thin

Ryan and Angella

How did we split like this

[Verse 2]

Cafeteria laughs

On a cracked white tray

He saved her last fry

She gave her jacket away

Then rumors got loud

Like doors slamming shut

Old friends turned their faces

And the air turned to dust

[Pre-Chorus]

You looked at me

Like I was the blame

I looked at you

And said your name

[Chorus]

Ryan and Angella

What we had was real

Ryan and Angella

We knew how to feel

Now Everest is cold

And the hallway's gone thin

Ryan and Angella

How did we split like this

[Bridge]

I still see your shoes

By the art room door

I still hear your laugh

When you wanted more

But hate filled the benches

And took all our light

Two hearts in the middle

Of a borrowed fight

[Final Chorus]

Ryan and Angella

What we had was real

Ryan and Angella

We knew how to feel

Now Everest is cold

And the hallway's gone thin

Ryan and Angella

How did we split like this

Ryan and Angella

I still taste the ache

Ryan and Angella

Love can break and break (and break)
