[Verse 1] You had four days, a paper map, A borrowed coat, a train at six. We chased the coast through salted fields, And missed our stop on purpose. You drew a crooked sun for me On the fogged-up window glass. I knew the morning had an edge; I let the hours pass. [Pre-Chorus] Every mile made leaving real, Every laugh made it hurt more. Still, your hand found mine at dusk Outside that little station door. [Chorus] We had only a few days to love, So we spent them without saving a thing. You were here, and the whole wide world Fit inside the time we were given. Now the train pulls you away from me; I keep the map, the ticket, the view. I can’t make the goodbye smaller— I can only be glad I found you. [Verse 2] We split one peach beside the pier, Watched gulls steal crumbs from your sleeve. You said, “Remember this for me,” Like I could choose what I’d keep. Your laugh still lives in that blue scarf, Your name in the station’s glass. I count the towns between us now, And wish the rails ran back. [Half-Time Breakdown] If I hold on, I hold the ache. If I let go, I lose the day. So I’ll carry what we were: Your warm cheek, your honest face. [Final Chorus] We had only a few days to love, And we spent them without saving a thing. You were here, and the whole wide world Fit inside the time we were given. When the last light slips from the coast, I’ll still have the road we knew. I can’t make the goodbye smaller— I can only be glad I found you. [Outro] The map folds clean along the crease. Your side of the seat stays warm in me.
