lyrics

a feeling so raw i haven’t been able to write it
+ you know me well enough now to know that’s a sign

didn’t see you coming ; you couldn’t have stayed if you wanted
we hugged goodbye in the rain ; i still haven’t let myself cry

//

you said that your mood fit the streets the last time you saw me
+ i still can’t be sad cause the comfort you gave me has stayed

the red in your eyes when i told you why i’ve been struggling
the words that you said when you told me you knew that i’d be just fine

still i wish you had stayed
i wish we had known sooner what we could have been
but for some reason that wasn’t meant

still i think of you when i am tired + want tacos
what i wouldn’t give to hear whatever it is that you have to say

//

these papers are mismatched + spread on my floor
my hearts been a bit more bent out of shape since you’re not here anymore

still i smile when i think of looking up at you
face lit up + eyes wide
i’m so glad that i know you

//

these days it seems timing couldn’t be more against me
but then again you came right when you should

+ i disagree with whatever reasons the universe has for you leaving
but i trust in time this is something i’ll see as good

maybe we’ll reconnect in some distant future
+ i’ll have my van ; we can travel the country in it

or maybe you were meant to come + remind me
that life can still surprise me by how lovely a person can be
