As the weather warms

Snow finally gone from the cracks in the street Jacket on the chair, I don’t need it this week Windows rolled down, radio loud Feels like the world’s waking up right now I still see you in the passenger seat Sun on your hair, laughing at me Funny how the cold kept us apart Now the heat’s melting what’s left of my heart I swore I was done, said I’d moved on But this time of year proves me wrong As the weather warms, I miss you more Every spring feels like before When the days get long, I lose my guard Yeah, my heart thaws out right where you are I tried to forget, I tried to be strong But memories bloom as the weather warms Main Street smells like rain and fries Kids skipping stones, lovers outside Everybody’s falling back in love Guess I wasn’t finished with us Your old hoodie still smells like June I said I’d toss it — never do I don’t chase ghosts, but here you are Showing up every time it gets warm I don’t reach out, I don’t call But I feel you in it all As the weather warms, I miss you more Every spring feels like before When the days get long, I lose my guard Yeah, my heart thaws out right where you are I tried to forget, I tried to be strong But memories bloom as the weather warms Maybe it’s the light, maybe it’s the breeze Maybe it’s the boy I used to be I built these walls for the wintertime But they fall every year like clockwork As the weather warms… I feel you close In every place we almost let go As the weather warms, I miss you more Still feels like you’re just next door When the sky goes gold, I break my guard Yeah, my heart runs back to where you are If you ever feel it, if you ever storm Just know I’m here as the weather warms I don’t know if you’re moving on But I’m right here As the weather warms
