Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We said four years
Like it’s some far-off country
Circle dates on a crumpled page
You trace my name
On the back of your hand
Like it might just fade
We talk in futures
All the maybe-might-be scenes
Cheap coffee
Late degrees
I’m nodding like I’m sure of it
But I’m scared
You’ll forget this street
[Pre-Chorus]
You say
“I love you
I love you” (yeah)
Like it’s carved into the desk we burned
I say
“I’ll never forget you”
But what happens when the clocks all turn?
[Chorus]
After these four years
Will you still say my name?
Or scrub me from your stories
Like I never held your face?
I love you
I swear
From the bones to the scars
But tell me the truth
Would you get rid of me
When I’m not in your arms?
[Verse 2]
We plan apartments
In a city we can’t afford
Secondhand couch
Mattress on the floor
You laugh it off
But your eyes look past me
Like you’re halfway out the door
Your parents ask you
“Is it really gonna last?”
You change the subject
Sip your glass
And I joke about the distance
But the punchline lands
Like broken glass
[Pre-Chorus]
You say
“I love you
I love you” (hey)
Like a dare you’re throwing at the dark
I say
“I’ll never forget you”
But will I still fit your heart?
[Chorus]
After these four years
Will you still say my name?
Or scrub me from your stories
Like I never held your face?
I love you
I swear
From the bones to the scars
But tell me the truth
Would you get rid of me
When I’m not in your arms?
[Bridge]
If someone new
Learns your favorite songs
Do I disappear
Or do I hang on?
If you burn these photos
Will the ashes spell my name? (spell my name)
[Chorus]
After these four years
Will you still say my name?
Or scrub me from your stories
Like I never held your face?
I love you
I swear
From the bones to the scars
But tell me the truth
Would you get rid of me
When I’m not in your arms?
[Outro]
Four years from now
Will you remember us at all
Or am I just a promise
Written small on the wall?
