[Verse 1]
I talk to empty rooms like they answer back
Laugh at all the things we never had
We were kids with gasoline hearts
Burned the map, tore us apart
I dragged my pride through every bar in this town
Till all that anger finally drowned
[Chorus]
Now we’re back to almost us
Same two hearts, with a little more rust
Yeah, we broke, but we didn’t break enough
To kill this love, to kill this love
If you’re still down to try again
I’ll meet you where the damage ends
Call it new, call it overdue
I forgive you
Can you forgive me too?
[Verse 2]
All of our ghost plans sitting on your shelf
Next to that photo where we forgave ourselves
I replay every fight in slow motion
Every slammed door, every word we threw open
Then I hear your voice cut through the noise like rain
“Screw the past, let’s miss it, then change”
[Chorus]
Now we’re back to almost us
Same two hearts, with a little more rust
Yeah, we broke, but we didn’t break enough
To kill this love, to kill this love
If you’re still down to try again
I’ll meet you where the damage ends
Call it new, call it overdue
I forgive you
Can you forgive me too?
[Bridge]
I don’t want the old you back
I want the you that learned from that
You don’t need the old me either
You need the one that stayed, that’s eager
So take my hand like it’s the first time (first time)
Say my name like it ain’t tied to old lies (old lies)
We can miss those days and still move on
We can love what’s gone and still stay strong (yeah)
[Chorus]
Now we’re back to almost us
Same two hearts, with a little more rust
Yeah, we broke, but we didn’t break enough
To kill this love, to kill this love
If you’re still down to try again
I’ll meet you where the damage ends
Call it new, call it overdue
I forgive you
(yeah, I forgive you)
Can you forgive me too?
