Lyric

Met you by the corner store

Laughing at the soda spill

You drew hearts on my wrist

Said

“keep this

I will”

We were bright

We were certain

Little stars behind the curtain

You swore nothing could break us in two

Now I walk past our old apartment

Every window feels like a fragment

Of a world that began with you

Shared headphones on the last bus

Your jacket wrapped over my knees

You traced plans in my notebook

Whole cities built out of please

We were loud

We were trying

Talking big

Half of it lying

You said love was a door we ran through

Now I sit where we once waited

All the routes feel rearranged

Faded

Every stop still turns back to you

Your key on my kitchen hook

Coffee cooling by the sink

We fought soft over dishes

Said sorry before we could think

We were sure

We were shaking

Two hands on a glass just breaking

You said distance could pull us in new

Now your mug stays in the cupboard

I pretend that it’s just cluttered

But I still set the table for two

New phone

Same old number

Your name buried in my list

I type out

Then erase it

Carry you in what I resist

We are far

We are nearer

In the gaps between each mirror

You said love doesn’t end

It moves through

So I live

And I remember

Tiny sparks that never ember

Every day writes an echo of you

You in my hallway at midnight (Hey)

You in my laughter next year

You in the word I don’t say yet

You in the drop of a tear

If every age has a soundtrack

Ours still hums underneath

I keep dancing in the quiet

To the shape of what we were (Ooh)
