Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Coffee’s gone cold Sun’s climbing high Phone on the table But you’re still in my mind You in that t-shirt Bare feet on my floor I wake to the echo Of you in my door [Chorus] ’Cause my best days Come after nights spent dreaming of you I carry those shadows Like they’re something I could hold on to Every laugh Every tear Feels closer than the morning truth Yeah My best days Come after nights spent dreaming of you [Verse 2] Friends say I’m distant Say I’ve been spaced They don’t see the movies Running in my face You’re in the backseat Singing off key I’m wide awake smiling At what used to be [Chorus] ’Cause my best days Come after nights spent dreaming of you I carry those shadows Like they’re something I could hold on to Every laugh Every tear Feels closer than the morning truth Yeah My best days Come after nights spent dreaming of you [Bridge] I know it’s only pictures That my tired mind draws But I live in those colors When the daylight’s gone So I’ll chase every sunset Just to fall back through To one more borrowed moment Alone with you [Chorus] ’Cause my best days Come after nights spent dreaming of you I carry those shadows Like they’re something I could hold on to Every laugh Every tear Feels closer than the morning truth Yeah My best days Come after nights spent dreaming of you My best days Come after nights spent dreaming of you
