Verse 1

I left my hoodie in your backseat

Smelled like smoke and February rain

You said, “I’ll give it back sometime”

I said, “Yeah,” but we both knew that wasn’t the same

Your streetlight flickers like it’s tired

Just like me, just like us

I trace cracks in your driveway

Trying not to bring up stuff

Pre-Chorus

I rehearse conversations

On the walk back to my car

But I always say too little

Or I say way too hard

Chorus

I feel like driftwood on your shoreline

Close enough but not in reach

You say you need space to breathe

I’m just trying not to sink

If love’s a game of timing

Then I’m late and you’re unsure

I’d still wait right here forever

If you asked me to for sure

Verse 2

Your mom still likes my Instagram posts

My friends say, “Man, just let it go”

But every song on the radio

Feels like it’s something you should know

We talked about getting out of here

Or at least changing our names

But now I’m stuck in this town

With all these half-finished days

Pre-Chorus

I keep checking my phone

Even when I know it’s dumb

Like maybe this time it’ll buzz

And everything’ll come undone

Chorus

I feel like driftwood on your shoreline

Worn down, still the same

You hold me when it’s convenient

Then pull back when it gets real again

If I’m honest, I’m still hoping

You’ll turn around and say

“I was scared, not done loving you”

But you never do, and that’s okay

Bridge (spoken/sung)

I don’t think you meant to hurt me

I think you just didn’t know

That loving someone halfway

Still leaves them alone

Final Chorus

I feel like driftwood on your shoreline

Waiting on the tide

If you ever want to swim back out

I’ll still be on your side

And if you find somebody better

I’ll pretend I’m fine

I’ll just learn how to float on my own

One broken wave at a time

Outro

I left your hoodie in my backseat

Maybe I’ll keep it just in case

You ever need something familiar
