Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It’s awful cold in the city tonight
Steam from the grate
But my hands still white
I dressed this hope up
Set it alight
Thought you might stay
Guess I read that sign wrong
[Chorus]
How was it over so quick?
You were a match on my lips
One little spark then you slipped
Back into shadow
I was reaching for something to build
You were already over the hill
I’m standing here
Trying to feel
Anything but hollow
[Verse 2]
You said
“Let’s see where this even goes”
I heard a promise in those casual clothes
Maps in my head
All the streets we’d roam
You called a car
Didn’t even look back once
[Chorus]
How was it over so quick?
You were a match on my lips
One little spark then you slipped
Back into shadow
I was reaching for something to build
You were already over the hill
I’m standing here
Trying to feel
Anything but hollow
[Bridge]
Maybe you’re fine
Maybe I’m just
Too ready to write us in wet cement
You were a room
I painted in my mind
But you walked out before the walls were dry
[Chorus]
How was it over so quick?
You were a match on my lips
One little spark then you slipped
Back into shadow
I was hoping for something to grow
You were only a passing glow
Now every corner of this road
Feels colder than it ought to

Style
Moody indie-pop ballad, male vocals; close-miked lead over mellow electric piano and subtle pads. First verse sparse, then drums slide in with a warm, lazy groove. Chorus swells with stacked harmonies and reverb-drenched guitar swells. Bridge drops to almost a cappella before a final, resigned chorus and soft, echoing outro.
