[Intro] Soft light through the kitchen blinds Your coffee cup still reads “good times” in faded lines I tie my coat a little slow Like if I rush it, I won’t go [Verse 1] There’s a box by the front door that we never labeled right Just things we said we’d sort out on a quieter night You’re leaning on the counter, trying not to look at me Like you can hold me here by memory I laugh a little, then it breaks You say, “It’s fine, it’s just a change we make” But your voice sounds like it’s learning how to lie For the first time in its life [Pre-Chorus] And I don’t know what to do with my hands When every plan starts slipping through like sand We built this house on “someday” and “maybe” Now it’s just goodbye, and it’s too heavy [Chorus] I’ll call when I land When the noise in my head finally understands That love doesn’t end just because we can’t stay In the same old rooms, the same old way So don’t let go yet, just hold my hand I’ll call when I land [Verse 2] The cab is waiting with its blinking light Like it knows I’ve rehearsed this a hundred times tonight You fix my collar like you used to do When we still believed in “me and you” I say I’ll be okay, you don’t believe me But you smile like you want to free me And suddenly the hardest part isn’t leaving It’s watching you keep breathing [Pre-Chorus] And I don’t know what to say anymore Every sentence feels like walking toward a door We promised we’d never become strangers But love changes shape in quiet dangers [Chorus] I’ll call when I land When the miles don’t feel like slipping through our hands If love survives the distance, let it stay Even if we can’t find the words to say Don’t let go yet, just understand I’ll call when I land [Bridge] Maybe we’re not falling apart Maybe we’re just learning where we start Outside the frame, outside the plan Still I reach for you when I can If I lose your voice in the static and sound Let the silence bring me back around To the way you looked when you almost cried And still said “go, just try” [Final Chorus] I’ll call when I land Even if nothing goes how we planned If love is something time can’t erase I’ll find it again in a stranger place Don’t let go yet, just understand I’ll call when I land [Outro] The plane fades into morning light And your goodbye stays with me tonight Soft as a hand I almost held Before the distance softly fell
