[Verse 1] Met you by the leaning stone Plastic flowers Colors gone You laughed Said “This is quiet here” Kicked the dirt from last year’s storm [Chorus] Cemetery conversations You and me Between the names Tracing dates with shaking fingers Saying ours out loud the same If we fade like weathered letters Promise me one stupid thing When they carve my final error Let them spell out that you were everything [Verse 2] You read out a stranger’s age “Twenty-one ” your voice half-broke We stood still The crow looked bored You stole my lighter Kept my coat [Chorus] Cemetery conversations You and me Between the names Tracing dates with shaking fingers Saying ours out loud the same If we fade like weathered letters Promise me one stubborn thing When they carve my final error Let them spell out that you were everything [Bridge] Wind in the grass Your hair in my mouth (hey) You said “If this ends Burn my regrets Not the house” I said “If I go first Leave a cheap bouquet Then sing” You rolled your eyes Said “Idiot You don’t get to miss this thing” [Chorus] Cemetery conversations You and me Between the names Tracing dates with shaking fingers Saying ours out loud the same If we fade like weathered letters Promise me one simple thing When they carve my final error Let them spell out that you were everything
