Andrea Malone - "Still Here"

[Intro] [Verse 1] I walked the trail again this morning East Cohasset, same as we always did Same trees, same bend, same view at the top I sat in our spot And I played the song we never finished [Verse 2] I still set two cups out in the morning Still reach for my phone to call you first Still save the things I know you'd laugh at And then I remember And then it gets worse [Pre-Chorus] You used to say the trail fixes everything Just walk it out, you'd say, just walk But I've been walking it for months now Cassie And I still can't talk [Chorus] You should still be here Sitting next to me Guitar across your lap Writing lines we'd never finish Laughing at the ones that were too bad to keep You should still be here And I don't know how to be [Verse 3] I found the notebook from the summer The one we passed back and forth on the bench Your handwriting next to mine on the margins Half a verse you never got to finish I can't read it without— I can't read it [Verse 4] I go back there because I don't know where else to go It's the last place I still feel you near The trees don't know that you're gone The trail doesn't know Everything just stays the same out there And I hate it And I need it And I go back every year [Pre-Chorus] You used to say the trail fixes everything I used to believe you, Cass But I've been walking every path we ever walked And I can't find my way back [Chorus] You should still be here Sitting next to me Guitar across your lap Writing lines we'd never finish Laughing at the ones that were too bad to keep You should still be here And I don't know how to be [Bridge] You know what the worst part is? I finished the song The one we were working on that last September I finished it without you And it's good, Cassie I think it's actually good And all I can think about is how I can't sing it for you... [Interlude] YOU SHOULD STILL BE HERE YOU SHOULD STILL BE HERE CASSIE I FINISHED THE SONG I FINISHED IT AND YOU'RE NOT HERE [Verse 5] I brought your guitar today I don't know why I just thought maybe if I brought it The trail would feel less like a place You used to be [Chorus] You should still be here That's all I've got You should still be here And you're not I walk our trail in your absence Every ordinary unremarkable day You should still be here [Outro] I'll finish them, Cassie All the ones we started I promise And I'll sing them all Even though you're not here... You should... You should still be here...
