[Verse 1]
You said you miss the way I laughed
Mouth full
Talking through the past
Phone light on your tired face
Scrolling for our better days
I’ve been hiding in my head
Chasing shadows in this bed
Every promise that I broke
Still hanging in your throat
[Pre-Chorus]
But when you take my hand
I remember who I am
All the colours rushing back
Through the cracks
[Chorus]
I wanna get back to the old me
The one you fell for slowly
When I was honest
When I was open
Not this stranger in the mirror that’s broken
Can we rewind what I can’t see?
Lay your heart right over my heartbeat
If you still want me
Hold me
Hold me
While I find my way back to the old me
[Verse 2]
Used to dance in crowded rooms
Making up our stupid moves
Now I stand against the wall
Afraid of how far I’ve stalled
You trace circles on my sleeve
Say
"You’re still you
Just underneath"
If you stay
I’ll dig him out
Turn this fear into a vow
[Pre-Chorus]
When you whisper my name
It cuts through all the shame
All the noise fades into black
You pull me back
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] If I lose my way again
Will you say my name again? [crescendo]
Wake the soft and simple kid
From everything I did
[pitched vocal chops answering each line]
[Chorus]
