[Verse 1] You left your coat here by the door The train app says the last one's gone Your sister called; I heard your name You said, “This isn't what we planned” I saw the date circled in red The miles, the rent, the years ahead You looked at me as if to ask If I could love you knowing that [Pre-Chorus] I know the hour, I know the cost I know the maps don't bend for us But every careful thought I have Keeps bringing me right back [Chorus] I want the whole impossible thing The wrong-way road, the unraveling No promise dressed up as a guarantee Just your hand here, choosing me If morning comes and calls this a mistake If all we built is more than it can take I won't pretend I didn't know the flame I knew, and I came all the same [Verse 2] Your suitcase waits beside the chair The lease runs out; your work is there We made a list of reasons why Then crossed it out and let it lie I won't call danger something sweet Or say the fall can't bruise our knees I see the ending, clear as glass And still I want this while it lasts [Pre-Chorus] I know the hour, I know the cost I know what can't be made to stop But every sensible goodbye Still sounds like telling you a lie [Chorus] I want the whole impossible thing The wrong-way road, the unraveling No promise dressed up as a guarantee Just your hand here, choosing me If morning comes and calls this a mistake If all we built is more than it can take I won't pretend I didn't know the flame I knew, and I came all the same [Bridge] If this ends badly, let it end I won't make tonight smaller then I see the doors we can't walk through I still choose this. I still choose you. [Final Chorus] I want the whole impossible thing The missed last train, the reckoning No neat escape, no borrowed certainty Just your hand here, holding me If morning comes and calls this a mistake If all we built is more than it can take I won't pretend I didn't know the flame I knew, I knew—and came all the same [Outro] The coat stays here until the dawn The train is gone. The night goes on
