Verse 1
I take your street like it’s a habit
Turn the wheel, I shouldn’t have it
Every light feels like a sign
Pulls me back in every time
Your house is quiet, nothing’s moving
But I swear I feel you in it
Like a shadow in the frame
Like the echo of your name
Pre-Chorus
It’s like we never really left
Just got lost somewhere instead
Chorus
I linger a little longer
Where we used to be
While the whole world keeps on turning
You’re still turning in me
It’s like we’re frozen somewhere
On a different plane
And maybe when the stars align
You’ll come back again
Verse 2
You ruined songs I used to scream
Now they sound like broken dreams
Even this town feels off-key
Like it knows you’re not with me
So I try to stay distracted
Pick up things I never wanted
Fill my time with anything
Just to feel like I don’t think
Pre-Chorus
But every road I try to take
Leads me right back to the ache
Chorus
I linger a little longer
Where we used to be
While the whole world keeps on turning
You’re still turning in me
It’s like we’re frozen somewhere
On a different plane
And maybe when the stars align
You’ll come back again
Bridge (stripped, haunting)
A girl can only run so far
Stack new dreams over old scars
Play pretend she’s doing fine
While she’s stuck in another time
Was I just your in-between
Something safe, something unseen?
You took everything you need
Left the hollow part in me
You had a way of pulling close
Then disappearing like a ghost
Break (whispered/soft)
And it’s funny…
How you can ruin
A song…
A place…
A feeling…
Final Chorus (bigger, emotional)
I linger a little longer
Even when it hurts
’Cause a part of me still wonders
If you feel this curse
If we’re living somewhere else
Where we didn’t break
Then maybe when the stars align
You’ll come back to me someday
Outro (soft, fading)
I still drive by…
Like you’re still mine…
Like you’re still mine…
