[Verse 1] You left your keys on the kitchen chair Dust in the sun like you were still there Coffee ring ghosts on the wooden grain Quiet as a book with an unread name [Chorus] Where did the days go? Slipped through the window Like smoke from a match you forgot to blow out We were just kids then Now it’s the past tense Talking in circles Afraid to say it out loud All of that time We just let it drown [Verse 2] Found your note in a winter coat Folded in half Every word you wrote Said “call me back when you feel less tired” Funny how the years only made that higher [Chorus] Where did the days go? Slipped through the window Like smoke from a match you forgot to blow out We were just kids then Now it’s the past tense Talking in circles Afraid to say it out loud All of that time We just let it drown [Bridge] [Strings swell Then fall back] I still set two plates Then put one away Sing to the quiet at the end of the day (oh) If time is a river that we couldn’t cross Was it ever ours Or only borrowed loss? [Chorus] Where did the days go? Slipped through the window Like smoke from a match you forgot to blow out We were just kids then Now it’s the past tense Talking in circles Afraid to say it out loud All of that time Spinning around All of that time We just let it drown
