Hard to Reach Places

We never really said hello, it was more like "where did you come from?"

I think I've seen you here before, maybe just not in this lifetime

We never really said goodbye, it was more like "catch you next time"

And then it was over, now we drift in and out like the waves

And the stillness feels unnatural, and the silence got loud

But I'm trying so hard to get better

I dusted off all of the hard-to-reach places for you

Just in case you'd notice

And I'm trying not to look so haunted

Even though the floorboards creak every time that you make a move

Or take a step on them

It's just the house settling, don't listen to all the screams

You kiss me at the front door and I spend eternity

Wondering what it all means

My smile feels rusty like nobody's touched me in years

But you were here

I swear, you were right here

Our first kiss was our last but I didn't know it yet

I said "maybe I'll finally put all those old loves to rest"

So I stopped checking my phone

I don't need nobody to know where I've been but you do

I don't think that I ever left the jazz bar near 5th Avenue

But I'm trying so hard to get better

I dusted off all of the hard-to-reach places for you

Just in case you notice

And I'm trying not to look so haunted

Even though the floorboards creak every time that you make a move

Or take a step on them

And maybe I jinxed it 'cause I told my sister I think I might love you

And I started filling new cracks in the same old excuses

You're busy, you're waiting for just the right moment

You've got family issues, you're stressed out at work

And usually I would read into it

But I'm trying so hard to get better

I dusted off all of the hard-to-reach places for you

Just in case you notice

And I'm trying not to look so haunted

Even though the floorboards creak every time that you make a move

Or take a step on them

It's just the house settling, don't listen to all the screams

You kissed me at the front door and I'll spend eternity

Wondering what it all means

My smile feels rusty like nobody's touched me in years

But you were here

I'm trying so hard to get better

I dusted off all of the hard-to-reach places for you

Did you notice? Did you notice?

Did you notice?
