Lyric

You kept your grandma’s wedding ring

Said

“They married young

But it meant everything”

Coffee cooling on the windowsill

You laugh

Then say

“I’m scared I feel this much

I still will”

Every age

Same old heart

Passing down the way we fall apart

We love like them

We fight like art

Every age

Same old heart

Your parents dancing in a grainy tape

Big hair

Cheap suits

Trying to escape

You hit pause right when their fingers lace

“Do you think they knew they’d always chase this face?”

We rewind our borrowed scenes

Living out our secondhand dreams

Change the clothes

Change the screens

But we rewind our borrowed scenes

My phone lights up

Your name again

Three words typed out

Then erased

Then sent

We orbit close

Then drift away

“Are we a break

” you ask

“or are we just delay?”

Love in pixels

Love in ink

Different ways to say “I sink”

New machines

Same missing link

Love in pixels

Love in ink

You said our kids will roll their eyes

At all the ways we tried to improvise

They’ll think they’re the first to ever stay too long

On someone who makes their favorite

Favorite song

Future hearts will trace these lines

New slang

Same tangled signs

Holding on past all the signs

Future hearts will trace these lines

You touch my wrist

Like it’s a page

Whisper

“Maybe love just doesn’t age”

We keep repeating

Hoping this time sticks

Same old magic

Brand-new tricks (Oh)

Every age

Same old heart

Passing down the way we fall apart

We love like them

We mend like art

Every age

Same old heart
