Say My Name Again

You say you're "fine"

Then stare straight through me

Your coffee's cold

Your keys keep swinging from your hand

You fold your arms

Like you're protecting

Every version

Of the way we used to stand

Say my name again

Like you did back then

Like you meant forever

Not "remember when"

Say it slow this time

Let it crack

It's fine

If it pulls us under

At least it's still our line

Your jacket's on

But you won't leave yet

You trace the dent

In the wall from New Year's Eve

You almost laugh

Then swallow it

You say "it's late"

But make no move to reach your sleeve

Say my name again

Like you did back then

Like it's still a promise

Not a past tense friend

Say it low

Then loud

Till it shakes the doubt

If it breaks completely

At least we spit it out

You touch my face

Like it's unfamiliar

Like you're checking if I'm really here (oh)

Every syllable

Hangs between us

One more breath and it could disappear

Say my name again

One last time

And then

If you have to leave me

Let it echo in your chest

Say it like it's ours

Like those midnight hours

If it's over

Let it

Go out on that sound

At least

Say my name again

(Just once more)

Say my name again
