Lyric

Teenage sky over worn-out sneakers

Name on my hand in blue ink fading

Walked you home past the old arcade glow

You said

“Don’t rush

I like the waiting”

First love

Small town

Trembling hands

Learning how forever feels in summer plans

I thought time would never pull us apart

Changing seasons

Same heart

College night

Secondhand apartment

Walls so thin we whispered secrets

You cut your hair

I missed your bangs

You laughed

Said

“You’ll just have to keep me”

Young love

Fast days

Tangled sheets

Sharing cheap wine

Burning through the weeks

We outgrew rooms

But not that spark

Changing cities

Same heart

Wedding ring in a crowded kitchen

Playlist looping our old love anthems

You burned the toast

We danced through smoke

Kids upstairs dreaming

Floorboards chanting

Grown love

Long days

Hidden tears

Holding on through heavy work and heavier years

We lost our way

Then found it in the dark

Changing faces

Same heart

Quiet porch

Silver on your lashes

Steam from tea rising in the twilight

Your hand still fits where it always has

You say my name like it’s the first time

Lifetime

Slow night

Soft rain

Every year we fall in love again

Lines on our skin like a living work of art

Changing ages

Same heart

We were certain

We were clueless

We were fragile

We were ruthless

Through every version that we’ve been through

The world kept turning

I stayed with you

Lifetime

Slow night

Soft rain

Every year we fall in love again

Lines on our skin like a living work of art

Changing ages

Same heart
