Sidewalk Confetti

Late bus

Headphones on

Scrolling through the same old song

Then you laugh at something small

Spill your coffee

Almost fall

You say

"Guess I'm kind of a mess"

Ticket ink on your wrist

Cheap dress

I say

"Same

I forget my own name"

We both smile

Like

Okay

You hit me like sidewalk confetti

Little bits of color in the grey

So heavy

Now my heart's got glitter in the seams

You turn my everyday into a movie scene

Sidewalk confetti

Sidewalk confetti

Missed stop

We ride too far

You draw constellations in the fogged-up car

Spell my name

Get the letters wrong

We both hum along to someone else’s song

You say

"Hope this never gets old"

I say

"Can we press fast-forward

Slow?"

Your hand finds mine

Quiet and loud

World fades out

Just us in the crowd

[low vocal register] Maybe it’s nothing

Or maybe it’s the start

[falsetto] I’m saving every tiny second

Like receipts inside my heart

[crescendo] If this is just a random Tuesday

I don’t wanna see the end

Play it back

Play it back

Again and again
