Short and Sweet

I overheard this song, (personal guess) the lyrics are very similar to Tallie's inner portrayal before his confession.

"Short And Sweet" - by Brittany Howard

There are miles between us Time between us There is something between us I may be a fool to dream of you But, God, it feels so good to dream at all Something short and sweet There's always a light over my head for you I am waiting , I am waiting Time will always try to kill me

There are mountains between us There is time between us Oh, ain't there something between us? Something short and sweet

I don't care if I should Do you wanna hurt me? 'Cause I've been hurtin' all alone It didn't kill me, no But it wasn't no fun Come and get you some Just the beginning I only want the beginning We'll give each other all of our best And then, time can do what it wants with it

There are mountains between us There is time between us Oh, ain't there something between us? Something short and sweet

So, why can't I wait? Why can't I wait? Why can't I think? Why can't I wake without you always appearing? Oh,, I better not wait too long 'Cause time is gonna kill it Time is gonna kill it Time is gonna kill it Time is gonna kill it
