[Verse 1]
Stained white tiles and a buzzing light
Glass on the table
Measuring my life
You walked in laughing
Boots untied
Blue eyes dragging daylight inside
You said
"This what you call a dream?"
Powder plans and a broken sink
I tried to joke
But my hands just shook
While you read my future like an open book
[Chorus]
You’re my blue-eyed alibi
In a world built wrong
You felt like right
Sirens at the window
Red and blue flood the room
You wrapped both wrists
Said
"I’ll bleed for you"
If you ever wonder why I still run
You took the fall so we might see the sun
Together
Together
[Verse 2]
Coffee in Styrofoam
Plastic chair
Cold chain bracelet
Ink in the air
You caught my eye through the smeared glass wall
Signed your name where they wrote my fault
Judge read numbers like a funeral hymn
You squeezed my hand
Said
"Give it to him"
"I was the one who set it all up"
Truth like a bullet
You swallowed it up
[Bridge]
Years stack up like dust on a shelf
I fold your letters
Try to forgive myself
You drew a sunrise on every page
Said
"Save me a space by the open gate"
[low vocal register] One more year [crescendo]
One more try
I hold your promise like a lullaby
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
