[Intro — Soft guitar, intimate vocals] I saw your name on my phone last night Stared at it till the screen went white Funny how a little thing like that Can take me somewhere I can't get back [Verse 1] We used to drive with nowhere to go Your hand out the window, the radio low You'd sing the words that you didn't know I'd laugh, but I never told you so Now I take the long way past your street Like there's some chance that we'll accidentally meet I've got a thousand things I'd say to you But none of them sound like the truth [Pre-Chorus] And I know we said we're better off That we both need something new But every time I think I'm over it I find another piece of you [Chorus] Can we go back to just like before? When I didn't have to wonder anymore When you walked in, I knew what you came for And I never had to ask you for more Now we're strangers who know everything Every scar, every song you sing Tell me, do you ever miss it too? Or am I the only one still holding on to you? [Verse 2] I heard our song in a crowded place And almost turned around to see your face For half a second, you were standing there Then I remembered you weren't anywhere My friends say time will do its thing That I'll stop noticing everything But they don't know how you looked at me Like I was somewhere you could breathe [Pre-Chorus] And I know we said we're better off That there's nothing left to prove But I still leave a little space for you In everything I do [Chorus] Can we go back to just like before? When I didn't have to wonder anymore When you walked in, I knew what you came for And I never had to ask you for more Now we're strangers who know everything Every scar, every song you sing Tell me, do you ever miss it too? Or am I the only one still holding on to you? [Bridge — Guitar drops back, voice almost breaking] If I saw you in the morning Would you smile the way you did? Would we talk about the weather Like we never shared a kiss? I don't want to start a fire I don't want to change your mind I just miss the way you knew me Before we left it all behind [Final Chorus — Full drums and layered guitars] Can we go back to just like before? Before we turned our love into a closed door Before I learned what losing you was for Before your footsteps disappeared across the floor Now we're strangers who know everything And I still hear your voice in everything Tell me, do you ever miss it too? Or am I the only one still holding on to you? [Outro — Soft, fading guitar] I saw your name on my phone last night I let it ring till the screen went white Maybe we can't go back anymore… But I still miss just like before.
