borovew209(Verse 1)
I missed my stop again today
Was staring at the sky too long
Thinking ‘bout the way you’d laugh
Like the world was never wrong
And I still wear your old sweatshirt
Though it’s faded at the seams
It smells like something safe
Or maybe just my dreams
(Pre-Chorus)
It’s funny how the quiet hurts
When you’re not here to fill the words
(Chorus)
And I’d walk a thousand streets
In shoes that don’t quite fit
If it meant I’d get a minute
To sit with you and talk a bit
I’d take the long way home
Just to feel like I’m not through
Like somehow, all these roads
Might lead me back to you
(Verse 2)
I saw your name on someone’s post
Felt like the air had disappeared
We don’t speak now, I know
But I still hear you loud and clear
You said time would make things better
But time just makes things real
And I still flinch at songs
You don’t know how I feel
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m learning how to hold the ache
But some nights, all I do is break
(Chorus)
And I’d walk a thousand streets
In shoes that don’t quite fit
If it meant I’d get a minute
To sit with you and talk a bit
I’d take the long way home
Just to feel like I’m not through
Like somehow, all these roads
Might lead me back to you
(Bridge)
Maybe you don’t think of me
Maybe you’ve outgrown that part
But I still fold your memory
And tuck it in my heart
(Final Chorus)
So I’ll walk a thousand streets
And I won’t care who stares
If there’s a chance you’re waiting
Somewhere out there
I’ll take the long way home
Even when I don’t know what to do
Just hoping all these steps
Might lead me back to you
