Who I used to know

This May would’ve made three Mays ago
When we matched on that old phone app
Two strangers talking past midnight
Just seeing where it’d land
I picked you up that same morning
Gravel crunching under my tires
Sun coming up on a small town road
And a spark jumping like live wires

Verse 2
We watched them play that Saturday morning
Standing on that worn sideline
Two hands touched for just a second
Like they’d been waiting all this time
Your laugh drifting through the cool air
Under those wide open skies
In that quiet little moment
Something came alive

Chorus (Stronger Hook)
Now there’s a four-month-old between us
Blue eyes, dirty blonde hair
Sleeping on my shoulder tonight
While you ain’t even there
He’s the best thing that ever came
From a love that fell apart
Three Mays later here I am
Holding what’s left of my heart

Verse 3
Later we drove to that camping spot
Where the tall pines guard the lake
Just a fire, the stars, and you and me
And chances we would take
Talking ‘bout forever plans
Like young hearts always do
Never thought forever
Wouldn’t make it through

Bridge
Then the late nights started changing
Your phone lighting up the dark
Names you tried to hide from me
But I knew them by heart
Promises turned into secrets
Truth I couldn’t outrun
While I was building us a family
You were chasing someone

Final Chorus
Now there’s a four-month-old between us
Blue eyes, dirty blonde hair
Sleeping on my shoulder tonight
While you ain’t even there
He’s the best thing that ever came
From a love that fell apart
Three Mays later here I am
Holding what’s left of my heart

Outro
This May makes three since that first ride
Down that gravel road we drove
Funny how forever starts
And ends with three Mays ago.
