In Your Glasses

[Intro – soft, natural]
You’re laughing at nothing in the front seat
Feet kicking rhythm to a backbeat
Sun coming in through the side window

I can see myself
In your glasses

⸻

[Verse 1]
You talk fast, like you’ve got somewhere to be
Big ideas in a world you can’t reach
Pointing out shapes in the clouds above
Telling me what you’re dreaming of

I nod along like I understand
But I’m just trying to hold this span
Of a moment I know won’t last
So I look again, I see it flash

I can see myself
In your glasses

⸻

[Hook – warm, simple, memorable]
And if time keeps moving like it always does
I hope you keep a little piece of us
In the small things people miss or pass
Like reflections shining back in glass

You don’t know it, but it matters more than chances

I can see myself
In your glasses

⸻

[Verse 2]
You ask me things I can’t explain
Like why people hurt or why it rains
I try my best, but you just smile
Like you knew the answer all the while

You lean your head when you’re getting tired
Still full of spark, still wired
And in that quiet, in between
You show me what I used to be

I can see myself
In your glasses

⸻

[Bridge – emotional but grounded]
One day you won’t sit this close
Won’t need me the way you do the most
But I hope somewhere in who you are
I’m still there, even from afar

Not in words or photographs
But in the way you see the past

I can see myself
In your glasses

⸻

[Outro – soft, almost spoken]
So keep on talking, I’ll stay right here
Through every laugh, through every year
If I fade in time, I won’t be gone

I can see myself
In your glasses
