[Verse 1] Same booth Same late afternoon Your name Still stuck in the room I laugh Like nothing is wrong My throat Is cutting on your song [Chorus] Maybe next time I won’t rehearse my smile in the mirror Maybe next time I’ll say I miss you when you’re nearer If there’s a next time I’ll keep my heart out of my sleeve But this time I just watch you leave [Verse 2] You talk I’m tracing your glass One word I’m back in the past You ask “How’ve you really been?” I choke It never quite begins [Chorus] Maybe next time I won’t rehearse my smile in the mirror Maybe next time I’ll say I miss you when you’re nearer If there’s a next time I’ll keep my heart out of my sleeve But this time I just watch you leave [Bridge] I write a message I never send You’re in my contact as “almost” still If we rewind this in my head I hold your hand I say what I feel (for real) [Chorus] Maybe next time I won’t rehearse my smile in the mirror Maybe next time I’ll say I miss you when you’re nearer If there’s a next time I won’t just sit here watching you breathe But this time I just watch you leave This time I just let you leave
