[Intro]
Met you on a Tuesday
Lost you by the weekend
Still, I kinda kept you
Folded in my brain, like
[Verse 1]
First one, blue hair
Laughing in a thrift-store chair
Second one, brown coat
Met her at a late-night show
Third one, soft eyes
Crying in the checkout line
We talked about nothing
Felt like I knew her whole life
I never promised a forever
Just a moment we could share
You put your hand inside my jacket
I just said, "I'm really here"
[Chorus]
A thousand little lifetimes
A thousand different hearts in my hands
I fall in love, then I let go
Like writing our names in the sand
Every story, every sunrise
Every "hi" that turns into "bye"
A thousand soulmates in my timeline
I love, I live, then I don't ask why
[Verse 2]
Number eight, late train
Scribbling her poems on the window pane
Nine, ten, same bar
We were arguing about stolen art
Some stayed one night
Some stayed long enough to fight
Some taught me how to cook
Some just vanished in the light
I never begged you for an ending
Never asked you to be mine
You laid your head onto my shoulder
I just said, "We have this time"
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Let it start
Let it finish
Let it burn out
Let it glimmer
Every hello’s
Already goodbye
Every goodbye
Still feels alive
[full voice, [crescendo]]
So take my jacket in the rain
Take my number, lose my name
Take this minute like a flame
We don't owe this thing a frame
[Chorus]
