[Verse 1]
Late bus ride
Face in the glass, phone light
Blue hoodie in July
Still feel that last goodbye
Your name in the top of my screen
Unread, but I read what it means
Scroll back to the start of the thread
Laughing at texts that are dead
[Chorus]
You were my late night, low light, slow song
Now it’s just my shadow rapping along
Talking to your ghost in the timeline
Hit send, hit backspace, rewind
You were my safe place, worn-out tee
Now it’s just this beat and me
Mumbling the parts where you’d sing on
You were my late night, low light, slow song
[Verse 2]
Half-charged phone, three missed calls from mom
Saying, “Baby, move on,” but I stall, stay calm
Replaying that walk by the store
Cold fries, bad jokes, wanted more
You said, “Don’t vanish when it gets real”
I laughed, now I know how that feels
Left your brush by the side of my sink
Can’t throw it out, so I don’t think
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] Talk slow
Let the words drag, let the hurt show
If you dialed right now, I’d fold
Say I’m fine, but my chest knows
[whispered vocals] Miss you, miss you
In the spaces between each kick
Every soft snare hit
Is another “what if” I can’t fix
[Chorus]
