Polaroids and Parking Lots- The Many Lives She Has Lived

[Verse 1] You left your boots by the back door Dust in the tread Still there Coffee ring ghosts on the counter Your old flannel on my chair I drive past your mama’s red mailbox Taking the long way home Radio plays our song too early So I kill it and ride alone [Chorus] I keep talking to your shadow in the parking lot Like any second you’ll come walking from the dark I watch Every stranger’s face the same old question “Could it be you? could it be you?” I keep finding little pieces where you used to be In the quiet In the clutter In the in‑between Longing like a record stuck and skipping I’m still in love Still in love with what we lost [Verse 2] Your ticket stubs in the visor Yellowed and bent They shake When the wind cuts across that crosswalk Where you first made my hands ache I trace your name on the window Fogged from my breath Then fade Like everything we tried to save With duct tape and duct‑taped faith [Chorus] I keep talking to your shadow in the parking lot Like any second you’ll come walking from the dark I watch Every stranger’s face the same old question “Could it be you? could it be you?” I keep finding little pieces where you used to be In the quiet In the clutter In the in‑between Longing like a record stuck and skipping I’m still in love Still in love with what we lost [Bridge] If I’d turned left instead of right Would you be breathing by my side? (oh) If I’d held on instead of pride Would we have made it through July? All these maybe‑maybes Rust on my heart I’m pulling at the petals But I’m tearing us apart [Chorus] I keep talking to your shadow in the parking lot Like any second you’ll come walking from the dark I watch Every stranger’s face the same old question “Could it be you? could it be you?” I keep finding little pieces where you used to be In the quiet In the clutter In the in‑between Longing like a record stuck and skipping I’m still in love Still in love with what we lost Yeah I’m still in love Still in love with what we lost
