Lyric

Your name came up on Sunday

I thought I'd leave it there

Then someone asked about the coast

And suddenly I had plenty to say

That motel with the broken lock

The rain that ruined both our shoes

I got halfway through the story

Before I knew that I was crying

Nobody changed the subject

Neither did I

The shifting tone

Your name sounds different now

I can say it

Let it stay a little while

The shifting tone

Tears running down, and I don't mind

You were here

God, I'm glad you were

For years I hated that old song

You played too loud every time

It came on in a taxi Tuesday

I let the driver finish it

There's a part just before the chorus

You always sang a little flat

I heard you there for half a second

Nearly laughed out loud

The driver checked the mirror

I looked out the window

The shifting tone

Your name sounds different now

I can say it

Let it stay a little while

The shifting tone

Tears running down, and I don't mind

You were here

God, I'm glad you were

We didn't get forever

We got what we got

A summer with too many late nights

Two winters, one terrible New Year's

I remember being furious

I remember being sure

I remember loving you

That one needs no correction

The shifting tone

Your name sounds different now

I can say it

Let it stay a little while

The shifting tone

Tears running down, and I don't mind

You were here

God, I'm glad you were

Mm

God, I'm glad you were
