LYRICS:
It’s 7AM and I’m on a mountain with a view
I’m the only one alone at a table meant for two
Big Sur looks beautiful this morning
And I should be missing you, I should be missing you

You’re across the pond at a show, I think, in Amsterdam
And the pictures look pretty, least they do on your Instagram
We say good morning, then goodnight
I wonder if you even know where I am, where I am

I’m wearing the ring still, but I think I’m lying
Sometimes you forget yours, I think we’re done trying
I realize you loved me much more at 23
I think that this is when it’s over for me

I can’t believe I’m a few months out from 29
I can’t handle another year of you and I just being fine
I’ve shared all my secrets, and I’ve paid for all my crimes
And our stars ain’t falling back into line

I’m wearing the ring still, but I think I’m lying
Sometimes you forget yours, I think we’re done trying
I realize you loved me much more at 23
I think that this is when it’s over for me

I think that this is when I cut the ties
I think that is when I set myself free
One day you’ll ask, “When was it over for you?”

I’m taking the ring off, I’m finally crying
Don’t try to find yours, no reason to fight it
You’ll say I’m crazy for being the one to leave
Scream I’m just like my parents and giving up easy
But you never took that last flight to see me
Looks like our ending ain’t ending happily
I think that this is when it’s over for me
I think that this is when it’s over for me

It’s 7AM and I’m on a mountain with a view
I’m the only one alone at a table meant for two

“You’ll say I’m just like my parents, giving up easy” hurt more than anyone could know

[laurenbanuelos]

“one day you’ll ask when was it over for you?”
“how long has it been over for you?”
so sad but so beautiful. amazing EP kelsea

[sammycho]

My husband and I were at this moment...at the brink... but he took that "last flight" and I'm so, so glad he did. I honestly didn't think he would.. because I loved me more at 23 as well. Thank you for this beautiful song...so raw and real. ❤

Kelsea just has a way with things. Visuals in the videos, colors, words, rhythm. She’s a master and these words fit for both men and women who have felt like this in past relationships. Don’t hang on for the sake of complacency. Set yourself free and move on.

[jennaclayon]

Notice the burnt toast? Symbolism for staying in a relationship too long...staying in the toaster too long.

[haileemarraffa]

She is laying it all on the table and I am here for it!

[meganledbetter]

I love that this is a response to Morgan’s “Over for You”

Morgan: “How long has it been over for you?”

Kelsea: “I think that this is when it’s over for me.”

So excited to hear the rest of her side. This is amazing. 🙌🏼

[camisreacting]

This EP is the real raw lyricism I’ve waited for from her, it sucks it’s from those emotions and pain…but this is stunning visuals and music.

[kellycaso]

Blindsided is great too. Kelsea brings up Morgan’s lyric about flying all over the world for you!

I love every song in Rolling up the Welcome Mat. It’s very neat how you played into your method of coping and therapy by writing this album. I to am coming out of a very hard season where I fell in love at a very young age. I cannot get those 9 years back, but I learned the hard way how someone should not treat another. No one truly understands you and what you went through. Using your story to help others is one of the most powerful things to do. Thank you so much for this album. I’ve listened to this song and Blindsided more times than I can possibly remember.Here’s to all of the strong women& men out there going through/have gone through something similar. Healing takes time. Love yourself. You are enough.

[prisssyx]

Beautifully written and terribly painful. Praying for everyone going through this hard season ❤️🤞🏽

[ashlannfries]

This has been on repeat for me for the last 2days…

“Burnt Toast”
A term for someone lazy to redo something they just messed up, or too comfortable to change a situation for the better.

[christinacrockett]

This hits so hard 💔 I can relate to this song right now in life. It’s so crazy how many women go through situations like this. But in the end it all shows how strong we can be❤ love you girl!

[mypaulbry]

Wow. No words. I'm crying to this masterpiece right now. It's so good and very moving song.

[Soybean_Rodriguez]

Complete masterpiece filled with so much raw emotion. I relate to this song so much. I reached this place last September.

[indibindylou]

I haven’t listened to much of Kelsea’s music before, so wow am I glad that I decided to listen to this EP. The lyrics are so honest and vulnerable.

Albums like this remind me how much I love good songwriting. Nothing else can capture these emotions the way that music can.

[gosia]

There had to of been so much love between these two at some point to experience heartbreak to this level. Both are experiencing heartbreak. Wishing them both healing.
