LYRICS:

I sat alone
White-knuckled grip on my words
And then you appeared
Offered me a smile
That reached your dark-roasted eyes
Knocked me off my chair
Handed you a pen
Didn't contain any ink
Yet we still shared
If my backbone came alive
I would've chased the vapor
That left your mouth

My tongue sat paralyzed for days
My fingers spoke what I could not say
Scrawled down a letter that I'll never send
Adopted from everyone that came before
You waltzed in

String lights illuminate
Giant fireflies suspended
Perfect in the breeze
You glance at the time
Sigh at the seconds that pass
"I wish I could stay"
Greetings and goodbyes
I make a mental note to
Breathe in, breathe out
Ask if you'll be ok
Driving like someone loves you
A small laugh and nod

I couldn't pry my arms open right then
Every nerve shaken and caffeinated
Thought my heartbeat would have slowed down by now
When I dare to trust, my body
Betrays without a sound

And maybe it's hopeful to think
You'll reminisce on echoes of me
Unraveled and toasted by the fire
Your dark roast met my red sky
Then I blinked
