[Verse 1]
You showed up in late September
Coffee steam on your cold hands
Laughing at the broken window
Like it was part of the plan
I learned the lines on your wristwatch
Every scratch
Every lost year
Said
“I don’t trust forever”
But you still pulled me near
[Chorus]
What’s the point of life
Bringing two hearts together
If it’s just gonna tear them apart
Again and again
We build a little world
Just to watch it surrender
What’s the point of life learning your name
If it fades in the end
Again and again
[Verse 2]
Your suitcase by the kitchen doorway
Folded shirts and swallowed words
You said you “needed something different”
Like I hadn’t already heard
We kissed once beside the driveway
Tasted salt
Tasted regret
You were halfway down the corner
When my knees finally bent
[Chorus]
What’s the point of life
Bringing two hearts together
If it’s just gonna tear them apart
Again and again
We build a little world
Just to watch it surrender
What’s the point of life learning your name
If it fades in the end
Again and again
[Bridge]
Maybe we’re meant
To break so something else can grow
Maybe each goodbye
Is a question we don’t get to know
I keep your voice
Like a song I can’t unlearn
Soft as a prayer
That still hurts when it returns (oh)
[Chorus]
What’s the point of life
Bringing two hearts together
If it’s just gonna tear them apart
Again and again
We build a little world
Lay our heads down together
Then we wake up alone in the dark
Calling out to a friend
Again and again
[Outro]
If this is all it is
I’ll still take the fall
If I only get your hand
For a heartbeat
That’s all
What’s the point of life
Maybe this is the point
We find each other
And we break
Again and again
