Lyrics
I take the long way home again
Just to have a reason not to rush
The streets are quiet, phones are dim
Everyone is somewhere else but us
I replay things I almost said
Like they might still change the past
I know it’s late, I know it’s dumb
But some nights move a little fast
I don’t miss the fights or the noise
I don’t miss who I was back then
I just miss the way it felt
When nothing had an end
I’m not lonely, I’m just awake
Trying to let the moment stay
I don’t need you back tonight
I just don’t want to feel replaced
I’m not broken, I’m just here
Learning how to sit with it
If this is all I have right now
Then I guess I’ll live in it
I pass the place we used to go
Someone new is sitting where you were
I don’t feel angry, I don’t stare
It’s strange how normal it all looks
I thought I’d be someone by now
Someone harder, someone sure
But I still count the days in songs
And measure time in words
I don’t want a different life
I don’t want a better scene
I just want to stop pretending
I know what all this means
I’m not lonely, I’m just awake
Trying to let the moment stay
I don’t need you back tonight
I just don’t want to feel replaced
I’m not broken, I’m just here
Learning how to sit with it
If this is all I have right now
Then I guess I’ll live in it
Tomorrow comes like it always does
Quiet, early, kind of fair
If I think of you at all
I’ll leave it there
