When I See You Again

Caught myself talking

To the seat by my side

Laughing at nothing

Like you never left my life

Your coffee cup waiting

On the shelf by the door

I keep it there

Stubborn

Like you might want one more

When I see you again

Will I know what to say

Will I run

Will I break

Or just hold you anyway

All the words that I saved

All the nights I replayed

Will they fall

Will they mend

When I see you again

I circle old photos

With a thumb that won’t heal

You’re frozen in August

I’m here in something real

I tell all our stories

To a room you’re not in

Every small detail

Like a way back in

When I see you again

Will I know what to say

Will I run

Will I break

Or just hold you anyway

All the words that I saved

All the nights I replayed

Will they fall

Will they mend

When I see you again

Will your laugh sound the same

Will my hands still shake

Will we pick up the thread

Or just smile and ache (oh)

If this is my one chance

To meet you halfway

I’ll wear every old scar

Like it’s part of your name

When I see you again

I won’t hide

I won’t wait

I’ll step right through the fear

Let it all cross my face

All the words that I saved

I will let them escape

Let them fall

Let us bend

When I see you again

When I see you again
