Time spell

Intro

The room still smells like rain and smoke

Your shadow lives inside my coat

Every streetlight hums your name

And nothing ever feels the same

You left your records on my floor

But I don’t play them anymore

‘Cause every vinyl crack and spin

Pulls me right back under skin

Pre-Chorus

Time cast a spell on you, but you won't forget me

The moon still hangs where you once kissed me

I know I could’ve loved you, but you would not let me

Now your silence is the only thing that gets me

Chorus

You can’t get what you want

But you can get me

Broken like the blue beneath the sea

You ran from every fire in your chest

But somehow left the burning all in me

You can chase another dream

Another city

Another set of arms to help you sleep

But when the night cuts through your soul

You’ll hear my voice in every memory

I was yours completely

The mirror knows the shape of tears

I’ve counted every lonely year

And every stranger’s face I touch

Still doesn’t feel like quite enough

You wore your pain like leather black

Never learned to love me back

You held me close to keep me near

But never close enough to hear

Pre-Chorus

Time cast a spell on you, but you won't forget me

Even heaven couldn’t make it easy

I know I could’ve loved you, but you would not let me

Now your ghost is dancing in the empty

Chorus

You can’t get what you want

But you can get me

Cold as all the winter in your sheets

You swore you never needed anyone

Then turned my heart into a place you’d leave

You can run another mile

Say you’re healing

Pretend the past is buried underneath

But every road you wander down

Will lead your tired hands right back to me

Bridge

And I hate that I still wait

For footsteps at my door

Like maybe you’ll come back this time

And love me like before

But blue songs never get happy endings

They just fade into the dark

Leaving lonely people singing

With somebody else’s heart

Final Chorus

You can’t get what you want

But you can get me

Scarred and soft and bleeding melody

Time cast a spell on you, but love

Still carved my name into your memory

You can hold the whole wide world

And still be empty

‘Cause some hearts break too deep to leave

And even if you never come back home

Part of you will always belong to me

Always belong to me
