[Verse 1] You’re by the window with the morning light I’m at the table sorting out the night You ask me if the numbers look all right I say, “They do,” and keep my eyes in sight [Pre-Chorus] We learned to speak in careful lines Like nothing happened, like we’re fine [Chorus] We still pass each other every day Trading small talk where the old words used to stay You take the stairs, I take the hall We know the shape of every silence in these walls We made our choice, we let it go But there’s a little more to lose than we let show We still pass each other every day And walk the long way home [Verse 2] Your coffee’s cold beside the copy machine You laugh at something that I almost mean The team heads out, the room turns blue For one brief moment, it’s just me and you [Pre-Chorus] The clock keeps moving, so do we Past the place we used to be [Chorus] We still pass each other every day Trading small talk where the old words used to stay You take the stairs, I take the hall We know the shape of every silence in these walls We made our choice, we let it go But there’s a little more to lose than we let show We still pass each other every day And walk the long way home [Bridge] Maybe time will make it easy Maybe time just makes it kind Maybe we can keep the good things Without turning back in time [Final Chorus] We still pass each other every day Sometimes there’s a smile we don’t quite look away You take the stairs, I take the hall We know the shape of every silence in these walls We made our choice, we let it go And some goodbyes take longer than we know We still pass each other every day Then walk the long way home
