[Verse 1]
You had a blue icon glow
I had your name in my phone
We said forever so easy
From different screens, different homes
Never held your jacket sleeve
Never left your keys by mine
Just a map and a bad idea
And a love too big for time
[Pre-Chorus]
Five states in between
And I still said "stay"
I was talking to a ghost
With a heartbeat miles away
[Chorus]
Five states away
And I still ache
Never met you once
Still, you broke my day
Five states away
That’s how we fade
Nothing in my hands
But your name remains
(Five states away)
[Verse 2]
I never had your cologne
No receipts, no old T-shirt
Just screenshots in my gallery
And a silence that got worse
Your laugh lived in my earbuds
Then it cut out clean
Like the signal knew the ending
Before you ever told me
[Pre-Chorus]
Five states in between
And I still said "stay"
I was talking to a ghost
With a heartbeat miles away
[Chorus]
Five states away
And I still ache
Never met you once
Still, you broke my day
Five states away
That’s how we fade
Nothing in my hands
But your name remains
(Five states away)
[Bridge]
No train ride back
No door to slam
Just a blank blue chat
And a trembling hand
I loved the maybe
I loved the would-be
Now I fold your almost
Like it never knew me
[Chorus]
Five states away
And I still ache
Never met you once
Still, you broke my day
Five states away
That’s how we fade
Nothing in my hands
But your name remains
(Five states away)
