here we are (again)

You showed up like you always do

Same jacket same perfume

I said you look good you said you too

And we fell back in the loop

Same bar same drink

Same song I can't think

We're strangers now but we blink

And we're back on the brink

Here we are again

Pretending we're just friends

Standing close but not too much

Saying things we shouldn't touch

Here we are again

Laughing like we never ended

Your hand brushes mine

Like maybe we're still blended

I asked how you've been

You said better but not quite

I wanted to say me too

But kept it light

You smiled like nothing's wrong

I nodded like I moved on

But the air between us

Still plays our song

Here we are again

Rewriting what we meant

A thousand ways to say goodbye

But we never really went

Here we are again

In the silence of almost love

Close enough to feel it

Far enough to bluff

Maybe we're just a habit

Too old to break

Or maybe we're both hoping

We'll still get one more take

Here we are again

In this quiet pretend

Two hearts in a rewind

With no real end

I don't know what we are

But this feels like then

Here we are

Here we are again
