Lyric

On a street corner after the rain

Neon bleeding into puddles

Only the bitterness of cold coffee

Stays behind in my chest

Subway platform, before the last train

Only the crowd is in a hurry

Tracing an old photo with my fingers

Almost touching your smile

Every time the wind carries a memory

The goodbye I never said starts to ache

Love slips through my hands like sand

The more I try to hold it, the drier I feel

Through the glass of a public phone

There’s no number left for the past

If I could rewind

Go back before that dawn

I’d hold onto the one word

I should’ve said before “I’m sorry”

Like an old cassette tape

Only my heart won’t rewind

The crowd at the crossing moves on green

Someone’s shoulder pushes me ahead

Only the habit of looking for your shadow

Still feels like it’s breathing

The signal starts to blink, time running out

My wishes always arrive too late

Love slips through my hands like sand

The warmth in my palms turns cold

If time were just a little kind

It would give me a second line

If I could rewind

I would catch your tears

Unravel the version of me

Who turned away pretending to be strong

That white cassette noise

Is playing in my chest tonight

The weight of the phone in a public booth

Silence I never put down

“Goodbye” wasn’t just a word

It was my way out

If I could rewind

In the smell of rain-washed streets

Just calling out your name

Could’ve saved a little of the world

Love slips through my hands like sand

Every time I pick it up, it cuts me

Still, so it sounds beautiful

I turn it into a song tonight

The subway lights tremble on the platform

Old photos lose their warmth

In a city where wind carries memories

I’m the only one standing still
