[Verse 1]
Coffee shakes right through the cup
Hands draw scribbles where a name should be
Laugh it off
Then I shut up
Watch my future limping out on me
You say
"Hey
We’re still so young"
But I can hear the ticking in my teeth
Every plan half-said
Half-done
Like the ground’s already under me
[Chorus]
Got a handful of good times
Better spend ‘em fast
Before I start slipping through the cracks of the past
You say
"You’re not a burden
" but I feel like weight
Dragging every weekend down
Showing up too late
Got a handful of good times
Better make ‘em count
Before I’m just stories people twist around
[Verse 2]
Friends still joke like nothing’s wrong
I fake the punchline
Miss the beat
Smile so hard it starts to burn
While my body edits out the heat
Mom keeps calling
Asks me how I am
I change the subject
Blame the weather
She hears the tremor in the phone
I hear the worry breathing through the tether
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I don’t want you wiping down my pride
Feeding me pity with your eyes
If I check out early from this ride
Promise you’ll remember when I tried
[Chorus]
