Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We were floor five lunches

Inside jokes in the stairwell air

You knew my coffee order

I borrowed all your sweaters

Never cared

We shared the same dark humor

Same tired eyes at 2 a.m

You'd text me from the train ride home

"Tomorrow we complain again"

[Pre-Chorus]

Then came that Friday

Name on the glass of the corner room

You hugged me in the hallway

But something in your eyes had already moved

[Chorus]

Now you're taking calls behind closed doors

I'm scrolling feeds on the office floor

You're flying up and I'm stuck in slow

I clap for you but I walk home alone

We said "forever

Just us two"

Now I'm the ghost in the photos of you

I’m proud of everything you’ve become

But I miss who you were when we were young

[Verse 2]

You used to answer midnight

Now it's "sorry

Busy

Another time"

Our weekend plans rescheduled

Till they just slipped out of mind

I hear about your big wins

From people who can’t spell your name

I’m standing by the printer tray

Feeling like the furniture you outgrew and changed

[Pre-Chorus]

You shine on the skyline

I’m a shadow in the fluorescent blue

I’m happy in the hallway

But it hurts that I’m not standing next to you

[Chorus]

Now you're taking calls behind closed doors

I'm scrolling feeds on the office floor

You're flying up and I'm stuck in slow

I clap for you but I walk home alone

We said "forever

Just us two"

Now I'm the ghost in the photos of you

I’m proud of everything you’ve become

But I miss who you were when we were young

[Bridge]

Did I lose you or just lose my place? (oh)

Am I jealous or just out of frame?

You said "this won’t change a single thing"

But your calendar forgot my name

I’m screaming in my car seat

Holding on to every year we had

'Cause I love you like a sister

But I’m grieving like it's something bad

If I told you that I’m breaking

Would you see me

Would you look down?

Or am I just the ground you pushed off from

On your way to higher clouds?

[Chorus]

Now you're taking calls behind closed doors

I'm scrolling feeds on the office floor

You're flying up and I'm stuck in slow

I clap for you but I walk home alone

We said "forever

Just us two"

Now I'm the ghost in the photos of you

I’m proud of everything you’ve become

But I miss who you were when we were young

[Outro]

I’m proud of everything you’ve become

But I miss who you are

When you’re just my friend

And not the rising star
