[Verse 1]
We were twenty-two and stubborn
Shopping lists on the fridge door
You circled cities on the atlas
I circled you
Wanting more
You said
"I can’t belong to someone
If I still belong to my dream"
I laughed it off at the café
But it rattled through my sleep
[Chorus]
Ten years
One line
Love or the person I’m trying to find
Standing in the doorway
Torn in two
Every promise that I made
Every boundary I betrayed
All of them leading me back to you
[Verse 2]
Your suitcase lived in the corner
Half-packed like a quiet threat
Plane tickets in the junk drawer
Right beside unpaid debts
I kept moving all my fences
Just to keep you in our yard
You kept tracing constellations
Saying
"Leaving shouldn’t be this hard"
[Chorus]
[Bridge] [low vocal register]
I said
"Go
If going saves you"
You said
"Stay
If staying’s true"
We were both half-lying
Half-praying
That the other one would choose
[soft falsetto]
Now when I look in the mirror
I finally recognize my face
You reached for my hand
Not to own it
But to walk at my own pace
[Chorus]
