Lyrics
Yeah... I been thinkin' 'bout those calls I never picked up
All the moments that I let slip, all the love I didn't live up
I wish the world didn't move so fast around us
Wish the noise didn't drown out the quiet we found once
You were light in a life that kept pullin' me under
Warm in a storm full of flashes and thunder
And I'm sorry for the nights you reached out and I froze
For every unanswered ring that still echoes in my bones
If I could rewind it all, slow down the dust
Trade the stage for a sunrise, the rush for the us
I'd hold onto your voice like a lifeline in the dark
Let our days move soft, let our nights beat heart to heart
'Cause I miss you like the air I used to breathe without tryin'
Miss the way you saw through me every time I was lyin
To myself, to the world, sayin' I'm fine, I'm alright
You were the truth in a place that lived half in the night
If love had a different road, I swear we would've taken it
A little house, quiet dreams we could've awakened it
No flashing bulbs, no rushing toward everything bright
Just you in the doorway, and me learning how to live right
I wish I answered, wish I stayed, wish I knew how to slow it
Wish I said the things you deserved, wish I didn't outgrow it
Now I'm hummin' to the ghosts of the life we never made
Writing letters to the memories that never seem to fade
And if somewhere you hear this, in a calm beyond the noise
I hope you know I cherished every moment, every choice
Even the ones I messed up they all led me to you
And losing us taught me what love really means to live through
So here's my goodbye to the life we never got to write
A soft little song for the girl who held my light
If there's peace where I am now, it's 'cause part of you stays
And I'm sorry 'bout those calls, babe... I'll love you always
