Lyric

First summer job

Cheap cologne

You walked in late

Stole the room

My name tripped out your painted mouth

Like you already knew what I would do

We split a shake

Two red straws

Your lipstick ring on my side

You said

“Don’t blink

You’ll miss your life”

Guess we tried

I was all in

You were almost

We were young fire on a rain coast

Every laugh felt like a first dance

Every tear fell through your small hands

Love in the mall parking glow

Kissing in that borrowed car slow

I was all in

You were almost

But almost still follows me home

Years rolled on like late‑night shows

Cheap beer

Band tees

Tangled sheets

We kept our shoes by the front door

Like we might run back to the street

You’d hum a tune

Steal my fries

Talk about cities by the sea

I booked one flight

You missed that plane

But you never missed haunting me

We were close calls and last trains

Chasing storms

Outrunning old names

You kept leaving

I kept the frame

Of your note taped to my nightstand

Every fight

We lit a new fuse

Made up

Made love

Made up more excuses

We were close calls and last trains

Loving you felt just like quicksand

Different place now

Older mirror

Lines I earned around my eyes

Your profile pops at 3 a.m

New last name

Two kids

Bright skies

I freeze there on your caption

“Grateful every single day”

Heart does that half‑fall

Half‑rise

Then slowly walks away

You’re a whole life in a small screen

Sunday smiles

Little blue jean

I’m a ghost scrolling in the dark

Counting heartbeats

Not the hearts

You found steady

I found almost

Talking to your shadow like a host

You’re a whole life in a small screen

I’m still learning how to fall apart

[Verse 4]

Then last month

That random corner

Crowded bar

Too loud to think

You turned

I laughed

You said my name

And time folded in one blink

We traded

“How’ve you been?” and glances

You held your phone like holding them

I held my glass like holding us

Both of us careful with the tremble

We were two roads in one room

Old perfume over fresh bloom

Every “hi” carried every goodbye

Balanced on the edge of your eyes

You said

“Some things never leave you”

I smiled

Lied

Said

“Me too”

We were two roads in one room

Walking out into our separate lives

Funny how forever

Can fit in a three‑second stare

How another lifetime

Can sit in the chair right there

If you’d said “stay

” would I stay?

If I’d said “go

” would you go?

We’ll never know

We’ll never know

And maybe that’s the kindest close

I was all in

You were almost

Now we’re stories that we don’t post

Every age

Different soundtrack

Same old ache humming way back

If I meet you in some next life

Under strange stars

Softer light

I’ll be all in

You’ll be almost

And almost will follow us home
