Verse 1

I still know your coffee order

Even though it’s been six months now

Drive past your apartment corner

Like my car just figures it out

You said we needed space to grow up

I guess that’s what we’re doing now

But every time my phone lights up

I hate that I still look around

Pre-Chorus

And I know, I know

You’re probably fine

While I’m tracing your name

Through the cracks in my mind

Chorus

‘Cause you’re still everywhere I go

In every song and every road

You’re a ghost in the passenger seat

And you’re way too comfortable with me

I swear I’m getting better slow

But then you leave me one hello

And suddenly I’m twenty-two

Crying over things we never got to do

Verse 2

Your sweatshirt’s in the back of my closet

I should donate it by now

But every time I grab the box it’s in

I just put the damn thing down

My friends all think I’m over it

I got good at playing cool

But healing’s not a straight line

And neither was loving you

Pre-Chorus

I know, I know

It’s pathetic sometimes

How one text from you

Can rewrite my whole night

Chorus

‘Cause you’re still everywhere I go

In every song and every road

You’re a ghost in the passenger seat

And you’re way too comfortable with me

I swear I’m getting better slow

But then you leave me one hello

And suddenly I’m twenty-two

Crying over things we never got to do

Bridge

Maybe someday you’ll be a story

I can tell without the ache

Maybe someday I’ll stop wondering

If walking away was a mistake

But tonight I’m counting headlights

Pretending one of them is you

Funny how forever ended

And I’m still talking to the moon

Final Chorus

You’re still everywhere I go

But less than you were months ago

Maybe that’s what healing means

Learning how to miss you quietly

And if your name lights up again

I hope I won’t cave right in

But if I’m honest, if it’s true

I’d probably still answer you
