Lyric

I breathe in the smell of the night

Curl my shoulders just a little

Train window, fogged-up glass

Tracing names I don’t recall

Someone’s laughter melts into the distance

I lean into the shadow of my earphones

I thought I would, I thought I did

All the words I meant to say

They scatter in the station wind

Yesterday, I couldn’t name it

Brushes my chest and melts like snow

Crosswalk lights blur in the late-night rain

The green light passes, waits for no one

One by one, I feel it piling up

Like letters I never sent

I thought I would, I thought I did

All the things I meant to forget

Wake up deep inside my chest

Scenes I chose not to look at

Paint my way home white

After the rain, the moon comes out

Shines on the roof of my heart

But falling through the cracks

Are the same old sighs from that day

I thought I would, I thought I did

Even “I don’t care” starts to shake

In the wind of passing time

Everything I stacked as “fine”

Closes in without a sound

I thought I would, I thought I did

Walking alone through the night

Pretending not to see

What keeps piling up
