[Verse 1] [Male] You walked in laughing Shoes in your hand Told me you always lose one of your plans Water went warm while the night sped up Name on my tongue Couldn't drink enough [Chorus] [Male] You were here just long enough For my walls to come undone For my quiet heart to call you mine Now you're packing up that smile Saying "It was real for a while" How do I learn to love a goodbye? [Verse 2] [Female] You learned my freckles like a second name Folded my fears Put them away I traced a future on your cotton sheets Knew it was borrowed Still fell in deep [Pre-Chorus] [Female] 'Cause there's a number on my phone that I don't block A door back home that I still unlock And a promise that I broke when I met your eyes I never meant for you to change my life [Chorus] [Female] I was here just long enough For your walls to come undone For your quiet heart to call me yours But there's history in another town And a life I once laid down I owe a second try to that first life [Bridge – Duet] [Soft guitar - Voices almost a whisper] [Male] Did you ever really love me? [Female] I did I do That's why it hurts [Male] Then why are you walking backwards? [Female] 'Cause sometimes forward means old words He was my first My almost-forever [Male] I'm your right now Your could-have-been [Female] If I don't go I'll always wonder [Male] If you go I'll never forget [Chorus – Duet] [Male] You were here just long enough [Female] I was here just long enough [Both] For our guarded hearts to come undone [Male] For me to see a different life [Female] For me to face the one I left behind [Both] Love like this don't fit in simple lines [Outro – Duet] [Male] So I'll love you in the space between [Female] In the almosts that nobody sees [Male] You came You changed You couldn't stay [Female] I go to him But you remain [Both] A second chance A first goodbye Living quiet on the edge of our lives
