[Verse 1]
You drew a heart
On my old train ticket
Coffee on your sleeve
Laughing like you meant it
You said
“Someday
We’ll get out this station”
I just watched
You change my destination
[Pre-Chorus]
Back then I was quiet
Closed
Too careful
You kicked in the door to my small world
Now every little thing I see
Plays back like a movie of you and me
[Chorus]
Flashback Polaroid
We’re burning in the corner (hey)
Frozen in the frame but the feeling’s getting warmer
Every little click in my chest
That’s you
Every bright color bleeding through
Flashback Polaroid
I keep you in my wallet
Can’t tear it up
Can’t ever really stop it
Stuck on repeat in my head
It’s true
Every flashback
Baby
Pulls me back to you
[Verse 2]
Summer fireworks
Ash on your mascara
You took my hand
Said
“This is our era”
Cheap arcade lights
You beat me at racing
I lost on purpose
Just to keep you chasing
[Pre-Chorus]
Back then I was hiding in the background
You pulled me right into the crowd
Now every little memory
Hits loud like a drum in my ribcage beat
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
If I could step inside that frame
I’d say the words I never gave
“Stay longer
Stay reckless
Stay my mistake”
[piano drops
Solo violin swells]
But the ink’s already dry on that white space
Still I carry you around like a keepsake
Every day
Every day
[Chorus]
